Hummingbirds have unusually large hearts for their size. If a person's heart were as big as a hummingbird's, his or her heart would weigh as much as a large dog.
Information: An average hummingbird weighs 0.3524 ounces and has a heart that weighs 0.00875
ounces. One pound = 16 ounces. The average weight of a large dog is usually more than 80 lbs.
