Centaurs have two torsos, so...?

Question

Where do they digest things? If their stomach is in their human torso, does that mean they have miles of small intestines in the equine one, or do they have an unseen p**p hatch closer to the front of their body?

Where are their lungs?

When a female centaur gets pregnant, does she carry the baby in her human torso or in her equine torso? If it's in the human one, does that mean her birth canal is about five feet long, or does she have a v****a between her front two legs?

Which teats does the baby nurse from?

If a centaur has an itch he can't reach, does he ask another one to scratch it?

How do they eat in the wild? They can't exactly graze on the grass, so do they pick leaves off the trees and bushes? Or do they kneel on their front knees, bend over and pick stuff up off the ground? I imagine that's how they have to drink water in the wild, if there's no waterfall around.

I wouldn't want to be a centaur, it's too complicated!

Answer 1

HELLO!  mythical creature!

Answer 2

Answer 3

There not real dumb@$$.

Answer 4

I never thought of that, i suppose they have two sets of intestines but the horse part woud be wher emost goes on.

They would certainly get the maximum amount of nutrition from their food, which they would need having to support two torsos and six limbs, I belive they hunt thier food with bow and arrow. WHich means they are carnivourous and their horse stomach would be designed for grazing another problem.  

Overall I feel the centaur is a poorly designed myth.

oh, and you won't believe it! the centaur next door is about to have a baby! wouldn't it be great? when it grows up, it can play with all the other children in the area! isnt that great?

Answer 7

In the mythology I've studied, it's always been indicated that centaurs possess two stomachs, a human's and a horse's ("That's why it's such a serious thing to ask a centaur to stay for the weekend," in the words of C.S. Lewis in his book 'The Silver Chair'), so they can eat anything a human or a horse can eat. I'd assume both stomachs feed into a single set of intestines in the horse part of the body, since that's where the a**s is. I'd imagine the lungs are in the human torso, and that babies are carried in a womb in the equine one, since the genitals would be those of a horse. I wouldn't think the human part has any reproductive organs, internal or external.
