The blood pressure of giraffes is almost 2.5 times that of humans, and they are still alive and well. Why?

Giraffe's blood vessels are elastic. We have been paying close attention to some related problems in the animal world. Many netizens have noticed that giraffe's blood pressure is 2.5 times that of ours. Many netizens and friends expressed some confusion about giraffe's high blood pressure, because many people don't understand why giraffes can live so well with such high blood pressure.

Faced with this problem, I think it is necessary for us to know some basic information about giraffes first. ? Giraffes are ruminant cloven-hoofed animals that grow in Africa. They are the tallest land animals in the world. Standing from head to toe can reach 6-8 meters and weigh about 70 thousand. ? The reason why giraffes have such high blood pressure is because giraffes have evolved to better adapt to their own body movement structure. Because the giraffe has a high head position, in order to supply more blood to the brain, the blood pressure in the giraffe must be kept at a high level. In order to meet the problem of blood pressure supply, giraffe's blood vessels have good elasticity and relatively large thickness. It is precisely because of this that giraffes can adapt well to high blood pressure. The following is my personal view and understanding of giraffes.

One: supply blood to the brain.

The giraffe's brain position is actually relatively high relative to its body. To supply blood to the brain at such a high position, the blood pressure in giraffes must be maintained at a high level.

Second, the special structure inside giraffe.

Because of the high blood pressure in giraffes, after a long period of biological evolution, the vascular network in giraffes is very rich. In particular, giraffe's blood vessels have very good vascular elasticity, so high elastic blood vessels can well adapt to giraffe's hypertension problem.
