Some animals have the ability to breathe through their butts, a process called cloacal respiration. Here are some animals that can breathe through their butts:

• Turtles: When North American ponds freeze over in winter, painted turtles lower their body temperatures and slow their metabolism by 95 percent. Instead of breathing with their lungs, they get the limited oxygen they need through their butts in a process called cloacal respiration.

• Dragonfly nymphs: Dragonfly nymphs also breathe through their butts.

• Sea cucumbers: Sea cucumbers can breathe through their anus, which is also used for excretion.

Its worth noting that some mammals, such as mice, rats, and pigs, can use their intestines to breathe and absorb oxygen through their anus. However, this is not the same as breathing through their butts.
