Different animals can pee different amounts.
College-aged fraternity guys have been known to “pee like a race horse” after (or during) some beer events at the house.
Let’s think about that phrase for a moment — does it mean you’re peeing as much as a racehorse would? Are you peeing in the same manner that a horse does? Or are you merely peeing while running around a track?
Language – it’s so complicated.
So let’s get back to the question at hand.
According to David Hu, an assistant professor at Georgia Tech, an ELEPHANT’S BLADDER IS ABOUT 2 FEET TALL and holds approximately three large trash bags worth of urine.
Want a number with that?
When an average elephant empties it’s bladder of urine, you’re looking at about 42.3 gallons at one time.
And an elephant can get rid of those 42 gallons of pee in about 20 seconds.
So think about that the next time you’re hanging out with your buddies. When they say that they’re going to pee like a race horse, you should one-up them and say that you’re going to pee like an elephant.
Then show them what you mean.
