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.

Does your heart beat faster or slower when you exercise?

Slow Heartbeat at Rest is good The slower your heart beats with activity, the better shape your heart is in. The heart beats faster in order to provide 02 (oxygen), and if your are in super physical shape, the heart will beat at a more normal pace for a given pace. At the same time, elite athletes will be able to push themselves to even more intense levels, such that their maximum heart rate increases during extremely intense exercise. Also, the heart rests when you do. If you have an elevated heart rate at rest, it could be due to many different factors. Some examples: large caffeine intake, anemia, stress, lung disease, pain, or even a heightened emotional state (nervous, excited, angry). Another important thing is how quickly your heartrate can recover to a normal beat after strenuous exercise. Answer2: Better check things with your doctor. Before surgery two years ago I found out I have a very slow heart rate. After test and wearing a halter monitor for 24 hours, my doctors said it's my normal. Exercise makes the heart rate even lower, but my doctors don't seem really concerned because they say a slow heart rate is better in general.
