deep-diving behavior

Deep-diving behavior refers to activities where marine mammals or other animals intentionally descend to significant depths in the water, often to find food, avoid predators, or explore their environment. These dives can reach hundreds or even thousands of meters deep and involve specialized physiological adaptations, such as increased oxygen storage and controlled heart rate, to survive the pressure and low temperatures. Deep-diving is a natural part of their survival strategy, allowing them to access otherwise unreachable resources and navigate their underwater habitats efficiently.
