Q: Can marine iguanas breathe underwater?

State: Florida

A: Marine Iguanas can not breathe underwater - they have lungs just like you. In fact, no reptiles can. Sea Snakes are especially well adapted for life in water - much more so than Marine Iguanas - and they too are unable to breathe underwater and must surface periodically to breathe air.
