They both nominally have 5 7, but I’m guessing there’s at least one person choking on a fish or chicken bone at any given time to slightly skew the average.

Edit: corrected to 7

    Ooh good point. Though there’s only around 120,000 giraffes in the world, not sure what the probabilities are that any are trying to swallow a gerbil at any given time (and probably a more localized time window, given they’re less spread out).

      That is a very good point and I forgot to consider that the population would heavily skew the average in the humans favour.
