“Not always sleep like that. This looks cute so shared. They sleep in a standing position mostly. When I see they have only two jobs; sleep & eat. It doesn’t mean they do it half-half. They sleep for short time. But all remaining time they eat (sic),” one of his tweets reads.
Elephants have only two jobs; eat & sleep. They sleep heavily. They snore a lot.

Most of the time one among herd remains awake as a guard, mostly bull.
Now in India maize & monsoon is here. Elephants will stay on forest boundaries. In day they will sleep & in night will raid.
#Elephants are interesting. At 2-3 PM will get up & start roaming for food. Raid fields in night & early hours. Then will sleep & snore like humans. Bull become the watcher for herd. Some 30 sleeping & 70 including staff are making it sure nobody disturbs. (Diary- 15/1/2019)

Never seen an Ele not eating.
They don’t have an efficient digestive system. So they need to spend all time in eating.

They look heavy but they walk a lot. That is why called as long ranging animals. A herd can walk 20 km a day. Presence of kids reduces the speed though.
And why they are long ranging. I want to think it shows how intelligent they are. Imagine a herd of 50-60 residing in same area. They will finish all.

They want to utilise resources sustainably. And in that journey they keep spreading seeds.
As I say forest walk with elephants.
During this journey of these elephants.

Sixteen animals were originally in the group, but the government says two returned home and a baby was born during the walk, news agency AP reported.
The real backpackers.
After the video and picture of the elephant family went viral on social media, netizens loved this sleeping family of elephants and wrote some interesting comments after seeing them.
The constantly moving lil one is reminding me of my lil kid that constantly wakes up in the night and keeps kicking me 🙂😃 as babies our instincts / behaviours are so similar to that of animals .. 🙂

Just loved how the elder elephants are protecting the mischievous baby elephant, by encircling the little one.

Young ones of all species behave the same... cuddling, mischievous & naughty.... be it humans, lions, elephants or cows. 🥰🥰
I thought elephants slept standing up like horses. This seems like the elephants are drunk or high on some plants. 😋
