While some animals, like turtles, can spend a whole winter deep in a frozen lake, they basically turn off their lungs and hibernate the whole time.

As for mammals, things are a bit different. The most impressive among them are whales, seals, and otters.

It’s believed that the winner is Cuvier’s beaked whale, with an average breath holding time of 67 minutes and one-time record of 138 minutes. The second place is held by a northern elephant seal that was once caught holding the breath for 119 minutes. The third place belongs to a sperm whale with a recorded time of 90 minutes.
