“To me, that's mind-boggling.” Instead, hibernating turtles get the limited oxygen they need through their butts in a process called cloacal respiration. The blood vessels around the cloaca—an all-purpose orifice found in many reptiles—are able to take up oxygen directly from the water.
How do sea turtles breathe?

Their large lungs permit rapid exchange of oxygen and avoid trapping gases during deep dives.
