Does a large organisms heart beat faster or slower than a small one?

a creature such as a whale or elephant has a slower heartbeat than that of a mouse or rabbit. in fact, a mouses heart beats so many times per minute that it sounds more like it's humming!
the general rule is the bigger the creature, the slower its heart beats.
hope this helps, have a nice day (or night, depending on what time zone your in!)

Why don't mice live for a long time?
The lifespan of most creatures is tied to its heart; small animals, such as mice, have very rapid heartbeats; because they are smaller, they lose heat faster, so their heart has to pump blood faster in order to maintain a normal internal temperature. Large animals, like elephants, have very slow heartbeats because their larger body retains more heat for a longer period of time; therefore, they live longer. The faster the heartbeat- the shorter their lifespan; the slower the heartbeat- the longer the lifespan.
