The Heart Beats of Animals

The heart of a typical blue whale beats 20 times each minute. This may seem like a pretty large number...until you consider that the average hamster's heart beats 450 times a minute! Normally, the larger the animal is, the slower its heartbeat. An elephant heart beats 30 times per minute.

Check out the heart beats of different animals.
