Biology,
in general, is an amazingly strange and complicated thing, but it's
certainly more bizarre in some animals than others. And while the
science that keeps our hearts beating is already pretty impressive, the
science behind the animal hearts in
this Atlas Obscura article is truly odd.
For
example, did you know cuttlefish have three hearts and blue blood? Or
that while diving, the hearts of emperor penguins slows down and blood
flow cuts off to all but the most important organs so they can dive
without getting the bends? Perhaps most shockingly, the wood frog can
stop its heart from beating entirely during the winter when almost all
of the water in their bodies freezes solid?Learn more about these fascinating animals and their hearts
over on Atlas Obscura.
