Sleeping Giraffes
So, yeah, I guess giraffes DO actually sleep. Not that it was a burning question on my mind as of late. But I was spending some time on one of my favorite websites: Mental_Floss.com, and their daily ‘morning cup of links’ led me the sleeping giraffe. (Mental_Floss is also my absolute favorite magazine - chock full of interesting facts and figures, and all written in a very humorous manner - check it out!)
The site with the sleeping giraffe is actually a place called scienceblogs.com, and this particular article is about ‘Sleep Behavior and Sleep Postures’. As someone who once thought about studying animal behavior, I can understand how this might pique someone’s interest.
But it was the photo that stopped me in my tracks. How do you think a giraffe sleeps? See for yourself - sleeping giraffe.
