How do animals sleep ?

15 minutes in a vertical position without breathing. Yep, that's what sperm whales consider to be a good rest.

    The funny thing is on Star Trek they showed the Sperm Whale vertical back then. Can't remember the year it came out.

    So most of giraffes were likely to stay in zoo than in outside surroundings to avoid getting assaulted.

    So you're specifying that they sleep vertically without breathing, does that mean that they breathe normally breed while underwater? You don't believe they have gills do you?
