Most mammals take about the same time to have a wee -around 21 seconds. The larger the animal the larger the urethra and therefore although there's more pee, it comes out faster.

I shared this on another thread so apologies if you already read that but-

Reindeers eyes go blue in the winter and gold in the summer so they can see better. No other animal does this.

The loudest animal in the world is a mere 2cm long, prawn. The Pistol Shrimp is capable of snapping its claw shut so rapidly, that it creates a bubble which collapses to produce a sonic blast, louder than a Concorde’s sonic boom.The shock wave can reach 230 decibels, also louder than the sound of a gunshot. The imploding bubble for split seconds also generates temperates of 4,400C, nearly as hot as the sun, killing its prey.
