Above it says about "How can the Hunter hold their breath for so long?" Could be that the world of Monster Hunter has a higher percentage of oxygen in the air? With Bnahabra being very large for an insect this is like when we used to have 3 foot dragonflies and giant millipedes the size of men. This was due to higher oxygen levels. How does this link to the holding their breath idea? Well could the people take in more oxygen into their lungs than we can allowing them to hold their breath for longer. Then again it is a game so...anything is possible
