Seals Can Hold their Breath a Long Time

While seals can't breathe underwater, they have an extremely high capacity for storing oxygen in their blood and muscles. Seals can store 3 times as much oxygen as humans on a per weight basis, and can go on at least 10 minute long dives. - factoid from Thank You Ocean.
