Giraffes are the tallest land animals that only lions and crocodiles can hurt them. You might think watching out for lions and spending 16 to 20 hours a day eating would all weigh heavily on a giraffe. Surprisingly, giraffes only need less than 30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period! They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time. Giraffes can rest while standing, but they sometimes also lie down with their head resting on their rump, while at lease one herd member stays on guard.
