hi,
While crocodiles spend most of their time in water, they can come out and move around on the land. Crocodiles cannot breathe underwater: they breathe air, just like people. When they are not active, they can hold their breath for a maximum of about two hours underwater before drowning.
Turtles breathe air; they need to come to the surface to breathe oxygen. But they have adaptations that allow them to stay underwater for long periods of time. They even have an adaptation to absorb small amounts of oxygen without breathing.
