    1;Dolphins have to be conscious to breath.
    This means that they cannot go into a full deep sleep, because then they would suffocate.
    Dolphins have "solved" that by letting one half of their brain sleep at a time.
    This has been determined by doing EEG studies on dolphins.
    Dolphins sleep about 8 hours day in this fashion.

    they need to periodically come up for air and keep an eye out for potential predators, dolphins can't curl up and zonk out at night like land mammals can. So they must stay somewhat conscious and sleep with the proverbial one eye open.

    Desert Defenses

    Camels have long eyelashes ( protecting their eyes from sand. The third eyelid is like a windshield wiper on a car, wiping the sand away. It is thin and translucent, allowing camels to see in sandstorms.

    a single ostrich eye is larger than its brain,

    Did you know that elephants can't jump even though they have the same number of bones in their feet as other mammals?



    The bones in an elephant's foot are more closely packed together than other mammals so they do not have the flexibility or spring mechanisms that would enable them to jump.

    At birth, a newborn baby has over 300 bones, whereas on average an adult human has 206 bones[ (. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column.
