Do you read these "best ten" kind of pop-up's that hit our eyes while surfing the internet? I sometimes do read such trivia because they are full of nuggets of information. Like this one that i read yesterday! It seems that there are certain creatures that have multiple hearts, or have a number of extra organs that have heart like functions.
Most of these are deep water creatures. There is one, however, whom we all love to hate. Any guesses? Well, it is the cockroach. It apparently has thirteen hearts! These thirteen valves are in a row, and pump blood to the various organs of the roach. Well, wonders never cease!
Nature indeed is unique in its creations because horses, too, have such heart like organs near their feet of all the things! No wonder, they are literally and figuratively powerhouses.
'Horsepower' as a concept thus makes sense, come to think of it. No wonder, for M.F.Hussein, horses were (he)art power! His lines could capture their strength, their power, their wind-like speed, their grace, in brief. Can you think of a Hussein canvas without horses? Almost an obsession they were for him!
Incidentally, is not it a wonder that a hyper-intelligent animal like the elephant or those power-packed existences, lions and tigers, cannot boast of possessing many hearts? Well, when it comes to our pets, the household animals, i suppose, dogs do not need any such obvious manifestation/contraption because head to tail, in every bit of their very being, they are sheer heart! Heart, thy name is dog! Why then the need for any extra than that large heartedness known as their very existence!
Pratima@ Dogs are heart itself because they are Honest, Effusive, Affectionate, Radiant/Robust, Tender, in brief, HEART on four feet!
