This Is How A Giraffe Sleeps

 

Have you ever stopped to wonder how a giraffe can get a good night's sleep? With his head precariously perched on top of such a loooong neck, how can poor Mr. Giraffe ever get comfy? The answer is not easily, as these cute pics of twisted up giraffes will attest to. In fact, catching a giraffe sleeping is harder than it first appears. This is because the tall creatures only nap for on average, 30 minutes every 24 hours, and only for a few minutes at a time! They take the crown for having the shortest sleeping requirements of any mammal on the planet. In fact until the 1950's researchers didn't think they slept at all. Check it out…
