- Giraffe blood pressure: Giraffes do have incredibly high blood pressure, reaching values of up to 280/180 mmHg, compared to a human's average of 120/80 mmHg.
- Highest in general: However, there are some marine mammals, like elephant seals, that hold the record for the absolute highest blood pressure among animals, even exceeding giraffes. It can reach up to 300/200 mmHg due to the physiological demands of diving deep underwater.
So, while not the absolute champion, giraffes are certainly impressive contenders in the blood pressure game! Their unique anatomy, with a head held high above the heart, necessitates this extraordinary adaptation to ensure proper blood flow throughout their bodies.
