User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-26074976-20130804193415

I know this has been spoken about before but I can't find the talk below. It is about the ceadeus holding its breath, most people have spoken about its beard being involved but I'm strongly against this idea. Yes it's beard may trap air but not many people have questioned its respitroy system. Ceadeus is what 5891cm/191ft? A sperm whale is on average 11m->16m and has a lung capacity of 5,000litres and has the ability to hold its breath for 90mins. Ceadeus are 2 to 3 times larger than a sperm whale so it's lung capacity maybe be around 10,000 to 15,000 litres! The battle is only 30 minutes long. So it is plausible it has simply held its breath. It's blood is another factor, it may have a high haemoglobin level allowing its blood to absorb more oxygen from the air it's taken in. Before the fight you see it dive out of the water maybe getting its breath. These are personally, what I believe, to be more possible than the "Beard Theory". Sorry for no clear paragraphs, my phone doesn't allow them on my comments :/ any more ideas needed just ask I do animals studies so I may be able to help with ecology theories.
