Emperor penguin heart rates rise to 250 bpm right before a dive and drop to 6 bpm as they dive 1000 ft underwater for 20 minutes. But they have similar resting heart rates as humans. (Scuba humans only dive about 130 ft in comparison.) https://t.co/uGfQUQQxHk

most mammals have twice as many nipples as their species' average litter size (e.g. humans mostly have 1 kid at a time, but 2 nipples), this is colloquially referred to as the 'half nipple rule'
except opossums, which for some reason have an odd number of nipples
