∙ 14y agowell sea turtles dont have gills so.......... they go up for air every once in a while. They come up to the surface and breathe, they actually have lungs. In the winter they can almost stay under water for the whole winter. Hope that this helps ^^

∙ 14y agoMost aquatic turtles (with the possible exception of sea turtles) must get out of the water several times a day to dry off their shells. If they do not do this, their shells grow mold and fungus and become infected.

How is a turtle and a tortoise different?
Tortoises occupy their own taxonomic family, called testudinidae. All types of land and aquatic turtles come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and shapes. Sometimes the name "terrapin" refers to those animals that fall somewhere between a turtle and tortoise, because they live in swampy areas or begin life underwater and eventually move to dry land.Turtles may live in freshwater, the ocean, or brackish ponds and marshland. Their front feet might be fins or merely webbed toes with streamlined back feet to help them swim. Turtles have flatter backs than tortoises, and may spend all or part of their lives underwater. They mate and lay eggs underwater or on the shore. Some turtles sun themselves on logs, rocks, or sandy banks. During cold weather, they burrow in mud and go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation.
