I actually didn't know that a mouse's heart beats faster than ours, but it didn't explain WHY their hearts beat faster. They just gave analogies.

I thought this was interesting. I had no idea that a hamster's heart beats faster than ours. I was also shocked by the fact that there is a formula to tell how fast a creature's heart beats.

Well, Hamsters are a little smaller. So they have a heart that is bound to beat faster. It is pretty cool, though.
