The blue whale has been reported to have the lowest blood pressure of any mammal, with values as low as 2 psi during circulation. This is thought to be due to their large size and the need to circulate blood effectively throughout their massive bodies.
The component of plasma that maintains the osmotic pressure of blood is protein. The protein albumin and others maintain osmotic pressure in blood.
The term dominant is used to describe the animal in a group that is the largest strongest or has the highest status.

Blue whale.
The giraffe has the highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom. The next highest blood pressure belongs to the elephant.

The giraffe has the highest blood pressure of any animal, reaching levels around 280/180 mmHg during times of stress. This is necessary to maintain blood flow to their brain against the force of gravity on their long neck.

Aorta has highest pressure. Pressure gradually decreases as blood moves towards heart.
What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.http://www.bloodpressureinc.com/what-position-is-blood-pressure-normally-the-highest-and-lowest/Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
Aorta
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.

The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
The blood pressure is the highest in the arteries. It will decrease continuously as it flows through the systemic circuit.
