It can breathe underwater through specialized butt glands called cloaca — orifices through which the turtle excretes urine, waste and lays eggs.

The cloaca is a chamber/outlet into which the intestinal, urinary, and genital tracts open. It is present in amphibians, reptiles, birds, elasmobranch fishes (such as sharks), and monotremes.
The name comes from the ancient drain, the cloaca maxima, built by the Romans to drain the area of the forum in the city of Rome and the word, cloaca, simply means "sewer".
