Do larger animals take longer to pee? - David L. Hu

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Dive into the physics of the Other Golden Rule and explore the systems and methods animals use to excrete waste. A cat s bladder can only store a golf ball s worth of urine. For humans, it s a coffee mug and for elephants, a kitchen trash can. An elephant s bladder is 400 times the size of a cat s, but it doesn t take an elephant 400 times longer to pee. So, how does this work? David L. Hu digs into what scientists call the Other Golden Rule. Zone07: This might have been the wrong video to watch during lunch but it's TED-Ed so I must watch.
So, If I have to pee really bad but if I can't, just stand on my head. Got it. Not sure how well this would go in a meeting.

The MYTHICAL non-existent Mrs. Evolution apparently has design built into creatures with high precision and effectiveness. DESPITE being non-existent herself. That's the common thread between her and Greek mythology, for instance.

I did the maths one day, and if you held your pee for a week (and it built up) it would take 11-12 hours for you to pee it all out at the average rate of urination.

Who are the scientists that did this research? And did they lie to their spouses about what they were ACTUALLY doing at their work when they came home?
