Why is pulse rate faster in small and young animals compared to that in large and older animals?

Small and young animals have higher metabolic rates and energy requirements, which lead to faster pulse rates to deliver oxygen and nutrients efficiently. Additionally, small animals have a higher surface area to volume ratio, requiring more rapid circulation to maintain body temperature. As animals age and grow larger, their metabolic rate typically decreases, leading to a slower pulse rate.


Why is lamb popular in the Middle East?

Sheep are small animals and don't need a lot of forage or additional feed to produce meat. They can graze on small areas of grass or brush. Goats are also popular for the same reason. Cows are large animals that need lots of grass from large pastures and supplemental feed to produce meat. Also, lamb tastes good (at least better than goat meat).
