Jungle News: Does Giraffe sleep only for 30 minutes? World’s tallest animal sleeps with open eyes
There are many legends about Giraffe. It is said that Giraffe never sleeps or sleeps only for half an hour. In such a situation, the question arises that why the giraffe does not like long sleep? To stay alert from lions and other predators in African forests, giraffes take short naps and keep blinking their eyes even while sleeping. To a large extent this fact is also true but there is another reason for it. Giraffe takes a long time to digest its food.
Completes sleep in pieces of 5-5 minutes
The truth is that the longest animal in the world sleeps for about four and a half hours, but this is also not enough. How does such a big animal manage to get enough sleep? In fact, several power naps during the day give energy to the giraffe. Giraffe completes most of its sleep in five-minute pieces. Sometimes they even sleep with their eyes open. The special thing is that even while sleeping, they are ready to run away when they feel danger. Giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world with males reaching up to 18 feet in length.
How much do you know Giraffe?
Giraffe legs are longer than the average length of a human, about six feet. Their neck is also more than six feet long. Giraffes are basically African animals but they are found all over the world. Like a camel, a giraffe also drinks water only once in several days. Giraffes are herbivores and due to this there is sufficient amount of moisture present in their body. It is said that a giraffe starts walking within 30 minutes of being born.
