7 Animals With Multiple Hearts 

RIVANSHI RAKHRAI

Cockroach

Insects, including cockroaches, feature a tubular heart running along their back. This segmented structure can be viewed as multiple pumping units, facilitating the circulation of the insect's blood, known as hemolymph

Crocodiles

Crocodiles possess a four-chambered heart similar to mammals, but their circulatory system includes a unique feature. A muscular wall divides the heart into two halves, enhancing the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

Cuttlefish

Cuttlefish, relatives of squids and octopuses, also have three hearts. Two branchial hearts pump blood to the gills, and a systemic heart delivers oxygenated blood to the body

Hagfish

These primitive marine animals feature four hearts. Three of these hearts pump blood to the gills, while the fourth functions as a systemic heart, circulating oxygenated blood throughout the rest of the body

Earthworms

Earthworms possess multiple pseudo-hearts, specialized sections of their circulatory system that serve as auxiliary pumping organs. These aid in the circulation of fluids throughout the worm's body

Earthworms

Squid

Similar to octopuses, squid boast three hearts. Two branchial hearts pump blood through the gills, and a systemic heart ensures the circulation of oxygenated blood throughout the body

Octopus

The common octopus is equipped with three hearts: two branchial hearts and one systemic heart. The branchial hearts propel blood through the gills for oxygenation, while the systemic heart then distributes it throughout the body
