Some lizards 'scuba dive' by using air bubbles to breathe underwater
A particular type of semi-aquatic lizard has something truly unique to show us about the art of survival with air bubbles underwater.
Diving lizard’s built-in ‘scuba tank’ allows it to breathe underwater, scientists say
A semiaquatic lizard called a diving anole produces a special bubble atop its head to breathe underwater and avoid predators on land, according to research.

Animals have evolved all manner of methods to evade danger. For one lizard species living in the tropical forests of Costa Rica, their unique escape tactic involves a makeshift oxygen tank that allows them to hide underwater nearly as long as the Guinness World Record for a human holding their breath.

Swierk applied a substance to the lizards’ skin that prevented bubble formation. Without air bubbles, the lizards couldn’t stay underwater as long as usual: they surfaced about 30% — or about 67 seconds — sooner than lizards that could form bubbles.
