To determine the heart rate in beats per second, we need to divide the total number of beats by the total number of seconds.

Given:

  • Total beats = 210
  • Total time = 70 seconds

The rate of beats per second is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total beats}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{210 \text{ beats}}{70 \text{ seconds}} \]

Perform the division:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{210}{70} = 3 \text{ beats/second} \]

Therefore, the heart rate of the new species is:

\[ \boxed{3} \text{ beats/second} \]
