Instead, they have different air sacs distributed throughout their body that ventilate the lungs.

Similarly,Super Lunguses algae to create this same one-way flow.

This cuts down on the need for exhalation, which they point to as the main cause of infection.

In fact, according to the designers, this concept increases respiratory efficiency in mammals by 300%.
