How does a giraffe sleep?
ReplyDeleteA Giraffe sleeps for just a few minutes at a time, and when it sleeps, it curves its neck around and rests its head on or near its behind. Sometimes giraffes sleep during the daytime, often while standing.

DeleteHow do giraffes sleep?
ReplyDeleteIt usually sleeps lying down, however, standing sleeps have been recorded, particularly in older individuals. Intermittent short "deep sleep" phases while lying are characterized by the giraffe bending its neck backwards and resting its head on the hip or thigh, a position believed to indicate paradoxical sleep.

ReplyDeleteGiraffes travel in a herd, up to 20 of them. When they travel, they look in different directions for danger. The female is shorter than the male.
