Reply to comment by willie_caine in TIL strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries do not qualify as “berries” as defined by botanists, yet kiwis, bananas, and tomatoes do. At least blueberries are indeed berries. by Aequitas05

The only people who can only hold their breath for two minutes are people who have never practiced it.

Ask a free dive instructor about how long it takes a classroom of average students to learn to hold their breath for more than two minutes even when they max out at 10-20 seconds their first try.

We are talking about capabilities here, and dolphins do not have the deep diving abilities that whales and sea lions and elephant seals do.

They have about the same capabilities as humans.

Dolphins are in motion they entire lives even when they are asleep.

For most of human existence until we started exploiting fossil fuel to become WALL-E human tubs of lard, we exercised at least 8 hours a day.
