Why This Tiny Lizard Dives With a Natural Scuba Tank

This ‘scuba diving’ lizard has a self-made air supply
In the tropical forests of Costa Rica, a small lizard uses its own form of scuba gear — an air bubble on its head that allows it to breathe underwater for extended periods 1. Although many small invertebrates use bubbles for underwater respiration,
