One and a half Billion Heartbeats

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Somethings leave my mind after entering. But interesting bit of information this hasn’t left my mind since I heard it 2 years ago. Biologists have compared the total number of heartbeats in different animals lifespans and what they found was that in general we all have about 1.5 billion heartbeats.  What is also interesting is that the space between heartbeats is relative to the size of the animal. For example the whales lumbering thumping heart is indicative of its longer lifespan as compared to the rapid fire of a tiny humming bird who lives in the fast lane.

Ok so I know it has been… er … months since I have added to this blog. I am sorry if you thought it was dead. But it most certainly is not. I have just been busy collecting inspiration information.  This one is totally worth the wait. I was doing some research for an illustration and I found this person’s blog page: ramblings of a mad man
