it depends on the animal
elephant-28 beats per minute
human-70
mouse-500
the baby's heart rate, should on adverage be 10% lower then ours. So if its higher somethings wrong
a zoologist checks a animals heart rate by taking it while there asleep by medication (if there vicious) or by just taking it with a stethoscope.
The average heart rate of animals varies depending on the species. In general, smaller animals like mice and birds have faster heart rates, typically ranging from 250 to 1000 beats per minute. Larger animals like elephants and whales have slower heart rates, usually between 25 to 50 beats per minute.
Animals can lower your heart rate through the calming effects of their presence and interaction. Petting or cuddling with animals releases oxytocin, a hormone that promotes relaxation and reduces stress. Additionally, spending time with animals can encourage mindfulness and distraction from anxiety, leading to a more relaxed state overall. This combination of physical touch and emotional connection can significantly contribute to a lower heart rate.
From the Toronto Zoo, http://www.torontozoo.com/Animals/details.asp?AnimalID=400 , "The heart of a Siberian tiger weights approximately 2kgs and has a heart rate of 70 - 80 beats/min."
I'm wide awake!
Wales, seals and walrus all can reduce heart beats to that rate during a deep dive.
Polar makes the Bluetooth Polar Stride Sensor which is a popular heart rate monitor with a clip and easy to change batteries. Panobike also has a line of heart rate monitors as well.
Ours.
some animals (bears) do this to conserve energy usage during the winter
A hippo's heart rate is much slower than a human's, for a few reasons. The simplest reason involves their size, as larger creatures with larger hearts simply don't need as fast a heartbeat to pump the blood around their body healthily. More unique to hippos, but potentially found in similar water-dwelling animals, the hippo's heart rate drops when they dive underwater, allowing them to stay submerged longer without needing more oxygen.
You have a heart. It beats periodically. The rate at which it does so is your heart rate. If you don't have a heart rate, then your heart isn't beating, meaning you're dead or dying.
