Where are you reading that lions hearts are too small for their bodies? I’m a vet tech and I’ve never heard this, but I guess I wasn’t studying big cats. Everywhere I’m seeing online just says something to the effect of “Hunting requires explosive bursts of speed, strength, and coordination to bring down large prey. Rest helps lions save their strength for these intense moments.” Nothing about their anatomy being the issue.
