From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.
Seabirds | Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. |
Flamingos | A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. |
Horses | Horses often sleep standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! |
Giraffes | Giraffes win the prize(奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! |
Dolphins | A dolphin sleeps with just half its head at a time. The other half must stay awake(醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. |
