Snakes do not breathe underwater; they are not equipped with gills like fish. They are air-breathing animals and typically hold their breath while submerged. Some snakes can stay underwater for an extended period by slowing down their metabolic rate, but they still need to come to the surface to breathe air.
Aquatic snakes are just like any other snake when it comes to breathing; They surface for air. Sea snakes, water moccasins and any other water going snake will stay above/near the surface or rise up to the surface for a breath of air.
sea snakes can hold their breath for long periods of time. The nostrils have valves that consist of a specialized spongy tissue to keep water out, and the windpipe can be drawn up to where the short nasal passage opens into the roof of the mouth: an important adaptation for an animal that must still come to the surface to breathe air, but may have its head partially submerged when doing so.
No, alligators do not have gills. They are reptiles that breathe air using lungs, similar to other reptiles like snakes and turtles. Alligators come to the water's surface to breathe.
Squirrels cannot breathe under water.
No, sea snakes do not have gills. They have lungs and must come to the surface to breathe air. Sea snakes have evolved to have flattened tails and laterally compressed bodies to help them move efficiently through water.
cause you don't have gills but we have lungs to breathe the oxygen in water
Snakes do not breathe carbon dioxide; instead, they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide like most other animals. Snakes use their lungs to exchange gases during respiration.
No. Snakes, like all reptiles, must breath air. While snakes are generally good swimmers, they still must surface to breathe.
They use their gills to breathe under water.
No, alligators do not have gills. They are reptiles that breathe air using lungs, similar to other reptiles like snakes and turtles. Alligators come to the water's surface to breathe.

Yes, they can bite you underwater; but they aren't very good at doing so. They are slow at it.
Scorpions can breathe under water, False. Scorpions cannot breathe under water but they can however hold their breath for up to 6 days
All sea snakes must rise to the surface to breathe occasionally, although some can remain underwater for long periods by absorbing oxygen from swallowed water.
