To breathe or not to breathe, that is the question.

What would happen if you were submerged in a pond where the water temperature hovered just above freezing and the surface was capped by a lid of ice for 100 days?

Well, obviously you'd die.

And that's because you're not as cool as a turtle. And by cool I don't just mean amazing, I mean literally cool, as in cold. Plus, you can't breathe through your butt.

But turtles can, which is just one of the many reasons that turtles are truly awesome.
