Oh, isn't that just wonderful? The feathery nature of gills is like a delicate dance in the water, creating a large surface area for oxygen to be absorbed. This is important for our underwater friends, allowing them to breathe easily and thrive in their beautiful aquatic homes. Just imagine the gentle flow of water through those feathery gills, providing life and energy to all that call the water their home.
To acquire more oxygen from water as the large SA of the gills allow more water to pass through and thus more O2 from the water to transfer into the gill-bearing creature's bloodstream for respiration
it increases surface area for gas exchange which means that more oxygen is absorbed.
Newts have toxic skin, and feathery gills.

It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê
The large feathery structures are the gills.
Whale shark gills are similar in structure to other fish gills. Oxygenated water is passed over the gills which have a rich, near surface blood supply and gases are exchanged between the blood and the water. The gills are feathery and have a large surface area so that there is enough gas exchange to keep the fish supplied with the oxygen it needs.
