The average length of time a mallard duck can hold it's breath is between 40-50 seconds. But only if a predatory animal is chasing it.

The Loggerheads, and Green Turtles, will hold their breath for a routine dive to forage for food, or in the process of swimming between four and five minutes. Perhaps a bit less, if they are trying to escape a predator. The time it takes them to completely exhale, and then inhale fresh air, is only one to three seconds. Plus, when they are resting motionless or sleeping, they can hold their breath for several hours at a time. This is due to the lack of activity, and stress while they are sleeping. The more activity and stress they experience the more often they must breath. That is why they drown when they become entangled in the trawling nets or other fishing gear so quickly. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

The same way YOU hold your breath under water. Not breathing.
