What else can I help you with?
Does a cow still sleep lying down when its head is straight or do they only sleep when its turned in?
No. Cows are not built to sleep standing up like horses are. Because cows are heavy in the brisket and barrel area, holding all that weight with fat, muscle, four-chambered stomach and other organs, they choose to lay down to sleep instead of remaining standing. They do doze, however when they are standing up, but it is only a light doze, not a sleep.
How can you sleep standing up?
Horses sleep standing up. This is possible because they lock their knees so they stay standing up. This is also helpful in the wild because if they are sleeping and a predator attacks them they can wake up and run quickly away without wasting time standing up. However cows don't sleep standing up because they do not have the same sort of physiological advantages in their legs like horses do.
Which animal sleep by standing itself?
Almost all birds routinely sleep standing up (some can even sleep on the wing). Most hoofed animals can sleep or doze standing up, even if they would normally lie down. For very large species, such as elephants, lying down can be dangerous as their internal organs cannot take the pressure for long.
Why do cows lie and horses don't when they are both prey animals?
This has to do with the different protective strategies used by horses versus cows. Horses are runners - their primary defense is to escape and evade predators. To do this, horses need to be on their feet when attacked, which is why evolution favored horses that could sleep standing up. I will note that horses do have to lay down a bit - generally about a half hour out of every day when adults. In contrast, cows are "huddle and hunker down" defenders - they will put their calves in the center of the herd and form a standing protective circle around the calves. Predators facing a circle of horned, strong, unhappy cows without the ability to get into an overhead position will generally turn away from the herd and try again later. Therefore, it wasn't as important for cattle to be able to run away quickly, and cattle sleep like most mammals do - flat on the ground.
