A rat, a cat, a dog, a person, a human, a horse and an elephant all piss with a full bladder,
Who finishes first?
Weirdly enough, according to science, it's the same time for every mammal to urinate (except really small ones like mice because liquid dynamics starts behaving differently, surface tension etc).

This is very dubious. I tried recreating this experiment with my dogs over months and found them to pee anywhere from 7 seconds to almost a full minute. Is there another detail I'm missing here?
7 seconds means they didnt have a full bladder. A minute means they stopped somewhere in between or you didnt count correctly.
When is a bladder really full though? Can it not expand to some degree if it's really full?
