Uncomfortable Sleep
This isn’t something that most of us see every day! This giraffe doesn’t appear to be at ease, does he? It’s probably difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position with that long neck. That’s one of the reasons why giraffes in the wild don’t get much sleep. In fact, they only require about half an hour of sleep per day! Their long necks make them more vulnerable to predators, which is why they don’t sleep much. Adult giraffes have been known to sleep standing up in order to flee quickly if danger approaches while they are attempting to sleep.
