Unveiling The Underwater Capabilities: How Long Can Seagulls Submerge?
Seagulls are skilled divers, using apnea to hold their breath underwater. Their breath-hold duration is influenced by lung capacity, oxygen reserves, and hypoxia tolerance. Dive depth varies among species, determined by prey availability, competition, and diving capabilities. Seagulls balance energy consumption and submergence, with larger body size favoring increased dive duration but affecting buoyancy. Water…
