To test the hypothesis, scientists created a scenario in which pigs and mice in a laboratory were .. ventilated via the intestines. To improve the likelihood of oxygen uptake, some animals had their intestines scrubbed in order to thin the mucosal lining and reduce the barrier to the blood stream.
That ain't natural.

My 5 year-old grandson heard about that and every time he sees a turtle, he brings up this factoid.
