How does the Afghan Hound know to hold its breath underwater?

It is called "mammalian diving reflex", look it up.

>My God!!! Your logic..
>you appear to be are a liberal progressive feminist raised by a science denying religious cult

I'm just saying the reason for dogs holding their breath is not because turtles are doing it but because
is that so hard to understand you 12 year old autistic fuck

Gotta say thank you, only 10 posts down is a decent responst

People aren't evidence

If you believe something because somebody else has told you to believe it, YOU'RE A FUCKING GODDAMN FUCKING IDIOT

THINK FOR YOURSELF, RESEARCH THE EVIDENCE YOURSELF, FORM YOUR OWN CONCLUSION

Afghan Hound ancestor had 10 brother n 10 sister.
10 brother n 10 sister go under water n dont come back up.
Afghan Hound ancestor go underwater but hold breath and come back up.
Afghan Hound ancestor has many child all who go underwater but hold breath and come back up.
That is story why Afghan Hound go underwater but hold breath and come back up.

>Afghan Hound ancestor
...in dry Middle East
>go under water
Try again.

>If somebody else told you to believe it, don't! Go to the internet and read what somebody else tells you there and then get a book and read what somebody else tells you there! But don't believe what somebody else tells you, only what somebody else tells you in writing! Then, decide for yourself what to believe based on what those other people you're not supposed to be believing have written but not told you.

>YOU'RE A FUCKING GODDAMN FUCKING IDIOT AND I'M RIGHT BECAUSE CAPS

Yes there is the chemical response in the brain of "I'm gonna die if I don't stop breathing this shit".

Addendum: getting water in your lungs is painful.

>doggo put head inna water
>ok if i breathe i just inhale water
>dis not work
>hmmm what if i dont breathe

What an informative and reasonable post that completely understands the idea conveyed

>There is no water in the Middle East

>a new atheist
>still doesn't realize the same propaganda techniques that were used the create the new left were also used to create new atheism 10 years ago

It is automatic. You don't need to think about it. Even if you are unconscious, you won't inhale water. The instant it starts to go in, your body stops it from happening, though you still die if you don't get air. "Laryngospasm" is what that is called. There's even something called "Dry Drowning" or "Secondary Drowning" where this is triggered but you are not underwater. It can kill you just as being underwater.

That isn't what the OP is asking and has nothing to do with the OP. That just allows better use of oxygen and is homeostatic in nature.

The spine does most of the work because the air pressure force him to, it's more mechanic than mental.

>That isn't what the OP is asking
he's so lucky to have you interpret for him

That's the answer I've been looking for, thank you awesomanon

no, no, got it right

Instincts are hand wavey bullshit. They are the gravitons of the biological sciences world.

How does a female dog know how to care for and clean her pups and ensure that they are suckling her teets?

Instincts lmao , ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

the female dog probably knows not by instinct but by some long-term memory from being weaned herself

That can't be right

why

I don't remember my early childhood

I'm not saying it's a conscious memory, I'm saying it's somewhere in there, Sam Harris says so

Maybe the breath holding is a memory from being in the womb

but fish don't lay in the womb and they can hold their breath for a real long time, like, almost forever, except penguins

Explain babies knowing how to suck nipples.
Explain baby herbivores being able to walk and even run within minutes of birth.

Afghans were the first dog to ever be cloned. Snuppy was created from an ear cell by his father and carried to term in a Labrador's womb.

A few years later Snuppy had 10 puppies with 2 other cloned afghans. All but 1 were perfectly healthy.
