•Diving lizard’s built-in ‘scuba tank’ allows it to breathe underwater, scientists say
86% Informative
A small, semiaquatic lizard called a diving anole breathes like a scuba diver.
Using a small air bubble atop its head helps anoles prolong their stay underwater.
This technique could help anoles hide from predators on land.
Diving anoles are the only animals with backbones that are known to breathe using bubbles.
The mechanism of anoles’ bubble breathing is something that Swierk is hoping to piece together through collaborations with multiple research groups.
One part of the puzzle is whether the lizard’ head shapes or microscopic structures in their scales affect the volume of air filling their bubbles.
Another unresolved question is how diving anoles store and circulate oxygen while underwater.
