(FILES) This file photo taken on March 20, 2015 shows an elephant splashing at sunset in the waters of the Chobe river in Botswana Chobe National Park, in the north eastern of the country.
Elephants hardly ever sleep in the wild, getting around two hours of shut-eye per night and only in the wee hours of the morning, researchers said on March 1, 2017. The findings in the journal PLOS ONE are based on two female wild African elephants -- living in Botswanas Chobe National Park -- who appear to sleep the least of any known mammals to date.Researchers fitted the elephants trunks with movement trackers, similar to personal fitness monitors, and their necks with GPS collars complete with gyroscopes, and followed their activities for 35 days.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of an elephant enjoying a refreshing splash at sunset in the Chobe river, located in Botswana's Chobe National Park. The image showcases the harmonious coexistence between nature and wildlife, offering a glimpse into the remarkable world of animal research. Intriguingly, recent studies have shed light on elephants' sleeping patterns, revealing their unique behavior in the wild. Contrary to popular belief, these majestic creatures hardly sleep and manage to get by with just two hours of shut-eye per night. However, their slumber is limited to only the early morning hours. To unravel this mystery further, researchers equipped two female African elephants residing in Botswana's Chobe National Park with cutting-edge technology. Movement trackers were attached to their trunks while GPS collars complete with gyroscopes were placed around their necks. Over a span of 35 days, scientists closely monitored these intelligent beings' activities. The findings published in PLOS ONE indicate that these particular elephants sleep less than any other known mammals observed thus far. This discovery adds another fascinating layer to our understanding of these incredible animals and highlights how they adapt and thrive within their natural habitat. This AFP photo by Chris Jek not only captures a breathtaking moment but also offers valuable insights into ongoing scientific research aimed at unraveling the mysteries surrounding one of Africa's most iconic species - the elephant.
