In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance.

<em>Hence, it will take an indeterminate number of generations to produce a true-breeding flock of the Blue Andalusions.</em>
