The Fitzroy River turtle in Australia can absorb oxygen through special sacs in its cloaca - basically its butt.

While most turtles must surface frequently for air, this one can stay underwater for long periods using its built-in backup breathing system.
Nature didnāt just give it lungsā¦
It gave it an upgrade.
