I am unsure whether centaurs have a joined or separate circulatory systems. Worst case - they're separate for horse & human body. But if they're joined, then I think a centaur may survive on 1 heart, as you've said.
Horse hearts are massive compared to human hearts. They would just die.
Or human part will be alive, and not the horse part.
Good lord, how big is that football if the picture on the right is supposed to be the size of a fist??
I assume they don't mean an American football, but still. Seems like on the right is a child's heart.
Imagine a wounded centaur with the horse part dead and the human part just writhing on the ground fully alive. Morbidly hilarious that image is
Yeah... honestly, it depends on how they're built. Because it might work on one of interpretation of the centaur's internal biology, but not on another. Still funny though.
Well, I figured that a platypus doesn’t have a separate system for the duck part and another one for the beaver part.
They also produce both eggs & milk, thus they can be enslaved for infinite supply of omelette.
Just add sugar and wheat to make some cake.
