Animals with a heartbeat quite likely perceive each beat as a subjective unit of time. One beat for a human at rest is roughly equivalent to one second. In general, the smaller the animal, the shorter that time, and a mouse’s heart is said to beat an elephant’s lifetime’s worth in one year. While an elephant is an animal that moves extremely slowly from the mouse’s perspective, what this means in terms of awareness is nothing other than that a mouse’s life and an elephant’s life are equally long.
