Elephants do not lie down and sleep. They
sleep standing. You know why? They are afraid ants might get into their trunks
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.
Yes..cows sleep. cows are mammals, all mammals sleep.
because they're tired.
Hours at a time, they sleep this way also.
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.
no flamigos do as well
Cows, elephants and whales are all mammals.
Cows can give birth while standing up or lying down. It depends on the individual cow and her comfort level. Some cows prefer to give birth while standing, while others may choose to lie down.
Female elephants are frequenlty called "cow" elephants.
Yes. By the way cows and bulls do not sleep standing up.
On hills, in the trees, in barns or sheds, in the grass or dirt, etc. Most cattle love to sleep on hills because they can easily see predators approaching from below.
Not exactly. They nap or doze standing up, but will lay down to sleep, just like cows do.
