Headline: Zoo's CCTV Footage Captures Adorable Moment Elephants Settle Down For A Night's Sleep
Caption: A UK Zoo has shared captivating night-time CCTV footage of their elephants as they prepare to sleep. The video, shared by Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in North Somerset, provides a glimpse into the nocturnal behaviours of 18-year-old Janu and 9-year-old Sutton. It shows Janu lying on his side while Sutton, the younger of the two, playfully attempts to engage him and snuggle up as closely as possible. The charming interaction was a delightful observation for the zookeepers, aiding in their study of elephant behaviours. Tom Lindley, the Elephant Section Leader, sheds light on their elephant sleep habits, stating, "Elephants sleep for around 4-6 hours a night on average. They tend to sleep for between 1-2 hours in one stint, then get up and move around a little, before going down for their next bout."
