A species of semi-aquatic lizard produces a special bubble over its nostrils to breathe underwater and avoid predators. Presenting the world's smallest (and scrappiest) scuba diver: A species of ...
Several species of anolis lizards blow bubbles from their noses to breathe underwater, according to research published in the scientific journal Current Biology this month. While aquatic insects have ...
Some anole lizards have a newfound superpower: They can breathe underwater by trapping air in a bubble on their snouts. What’s more, these reptiles can stay submerged for nearly 20 minutes by ...
The anole lizard may be a popular pet, but here's something that not many people may know: some of the things can breathe while underwater. A new study has confirmed their ability to do so, and ...
In a Costa Rican rainforest, a small, semiaquatic lizard called a diving anole leaps into a stream. Minutes pass, but the anole doesn’t surface for air, as these lizards typically do. Instead, the ...
Aquatic insects and other invertebrates are well known for carrying bubbles underwater for respiration. Now scientists have found tropical lizards that also “breathe” underwater this way—a ...

The bubbles the anole lizards use may act as a "physical gill" that can pull oxygen from the water while accumulated carbon dioxide escapes into the water over the surface of the bubble in a process ...
Getting enough oxygen in the water can be hard work. While fish and many other aquatic animals take air directly from the water through gills, other animals find ingenious ways to drag air bubbles ...
Scuba-diving lizards described as "the chicken nuggets of the forest" use a bubble to breathe underwater and escape predators, reveals new research. Water anoles - a type of semi-aquatic lizard found ...
