notes Male. The 'baggy' skin of this 'aquatic phase' animal becomes highly vascularized, as seen in this close-up of the mid-body area. It is probable that the animal can 'breath' through this enlarged amount of vascularized skin and so does not have to come to the surface to breath air. This hypothesis needs to be tested.camera Canon QL/FT & 90 mm Vivitar macro lens
