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.

Right one seems more correct, but the human part shouldn’t have stripes.

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.

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

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.

why on earth would it have a human heart.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It would have 2 hearts
Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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 have no idea, but if i had to pick one based on looks i would pick the right. It just looks more umm reasonable?
