Cockroaches have multiple "hearts," specifically, they have 13 chambers that function as the equivalent of a heart.

A cockroach has an open circulatory system with multiple ostia (openings) along its body that allow blood to flow in and out of the heart. Cockroaches have a tube-like heart that runs along their back and is divided into multiple chambers, but they do not have distinct "hearts" like humans do.
