Giraffes sleep between ten minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging about 2 hours per day. Since an adult giraffe would make a good supper for a lion on the African plain, theyâve evolved some very interesting sleep patterns.
Male giraffes spend about 22% of the 24 hours walking, compared to 13% for female giraffes. The rest of the time male giraffes are searching for a female giraffe to mate with. Giraffe herds do not have a leader and individual giraffes show no particular preferences for others in the herd.
