  Neither, but closer to the right one. Think like a flying squirrel. Lots of loose skin to catch breezes

  It’s a normal sized human torso.

  first option because the equivalent of giraffe neck would be human neck.

  I have no idea, but if i had to pick one based on looks i would pick the right. It just looks more umm reasonable?

    I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.

  Hmm… is the giraffe centaur an obligate herbivore?

  The nerve that connects the larynx to the brain in all animals goes down through the neck, around the aorta, up through the neck again.

  In giraffes, it is the longest nerve in the animal kingdom. The signal delay is so long that giraffes are unable to make any complex sounds.

  Whatever the writers decide it looks like in the universe they write about.

  In a normal giraffe the neck (and the legs) is long in order to be able to reach the leafs high up on trees, so it makes sense that in a giraffe centaur arms would be at a that would let them use theirs arms to help with that, which would either be higher up or, alternativelly, lower down but long enough that they can both reach the leaves above AND the ground below whilst standing up.

  Neither one nor the other…
  it would die instantly. .
  Why? The human heart wouldn’t be able to pump blood to the head…

  The right scenario is the worse one… a broken back, and the head and torso would be dragged along the ground under that weight, because the muscles and such wouldn’t be getting enough blood either…

    why on earth would it have a human heart.

    source

    • Fedizen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It would have 2 hearts

      source
    • IceFoxX@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Because our heart is in our torso? The human part is the front one—the one where the heart is. But you can’t depict a centaur without a torso; after all, it would just have four legs…

    Normal centaurs have a 90 degree bend in their spine making them incredibly fragile, 2 hearts, two ribcages, and two sets of lungs, both of which would be unable to supply a normal centaur with air under physical effort because of the long airway required to reach the larger lungs.

    Mythical creatures are held together with magic so its obviously the second one is correct.

    I bet you felt intelligent making this post didn’t you?

      Not really. I don’t really know what your problem is. Other answers address the same point, just in different words.
