Anolis Aquaticus (By: Lindsey Swierk)
Their whole skin is so hydrophobic that it is covered in a thin layer of air. They breathe that air bubble as shown, but it’s not just like holding their breath. Oxygen in the air will be replenished from the water due to the large surface area, almost like a gill. Many aquatic insects, like giant water bugs, also use oxygen diffusion similarly if they don’t have gills.
