By breathing in dissolved oxygen through the papillae, sea turtles are able to spend many minutes underwater. Sea turtles are unable breathe underwater, so they must come to the surface for air. Sea turtles can use the formation of their shell to keep themselves submerged under the water for longer periods of time. The shell allows for muscles to expand and contract and this process allows for sea turtles to inhale and exhale through their lungs.

The olive ridley sea turtle is an omnivore, meaning they consume both plants and animals such as, crabs, lobster, shrimp and algae. Loggerhead sea turtles are carnivores and omnivores, however it depends on the age of the sea turtle. Adult loggerhead sea turtles are carnivores, so they consume other animals, such as crabs and conchs. The hatchling logger head sea turtles are omnivores, meaning their diet consists of eating both plants and animals.
