Giraffes Only Sleep for a Few Minutes a Day

Giraffes are unique in many ways, but one of the most surprising facts about them is their sleep habits 🦒💤. These towering creatures sleep for only about 30 minutes to two hours a day, often in short naps of just a few minutes. Their sleeping position is equally fascinating: sometimes they sleep standing up, but when they do lie down, they tuck their necks over their backs. This is likely an adaptation to help avoid predators.
