      I’ve seen a lot of animal hearts. The only ones I’ve used for my experiments have been rat hearts and I’ve used a sheep heart to show pupils at schools what they look like.

      But at a museum show called “body world” I have seen a human, an elephant, a monkey and a giraffe’s heart as well as many others that were on display. It was nice to see how the sizes compare.
