Large aquatic mammals hold breaths longer than fish due mainly to glycoprotein acting naturally antifreeze-like letting blood continue flowing normally instead of forming ice crystals within cold waters near poles where salt levels prevent freezing over! Tigers' orange color assists visibility avoiding detection which decreases the chances of prey escapes; however certain species avoid water preferring dry environments keeping fur coats dry aiding warmth retention necessary for survival in colder climates unlike those living in warmer weather areas such as lions enjoy taking dips to cool off heat stress!
