With their slow movement and long lifespan, tortoises maintain a low metabolic rate and, consequently, low blood pressure.

Due to their massive size and slower metabolism, elephants have relatively low blood pressure for their size. Their large hearts pump blood slowly and steadily.

The largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, has an enormous heart that beats slowly, resulting in low blood pressure compared to smaller, faster animals.

Giant pandas, due to their slow and relatively inactive lifestyle, tend to have lower blood pressure. Their diet of bamboo also contributes to their unique physiology.

Snakes, especially large species like pythons, tend to have lower blood pressure, as their circulatory system is adapted to slowly transport blood through their long, slender bodies.
