Yes. Although turtles breathe using their lungs like most animals, they also have a pair of sacs located within their butt, that take in water, and extract oxygen from it. So, they are capable of "breathing through their butts".
Only a very few turtle species can do this.

All turtles breathe through their mouths, however, some species of turtles have sacs in their butt that take in water, and extract oxygen from it. They can get up to 68% of their oxygen this way. But again, this process is technically not breathing.
