air-breathing
Air-breathing refers to the biological process or capability of certain animals, including humans and other mammals, to inhale oxygen from the air and exhale carbon dioxide. This is different from aquatic creatures like fish, which extract oxygen from water through gills. This process involves the respiratory system, primarily the lungs in mammals or the trachea in insects.
