Where do centaurs keep their lungs? This has been bugging me all day. And what's in the extra chest?

Oh, I always figured they had two pairs of lungs to keep that much meat oxygenated.

It was stomachs I was unclear on.

My guess would be that they have two sets of lungs (and hearts). That's a lot of animal to keep oxygenated. It would also mean that a centaur could gallop at full speed (powered by the horse lungs) while carrying on a normal conversation (powered by human lungs).

This is exactly why I read your journal.

I don't know, but mermaids keep their gills in their breasts.
