Inactivity/sleep in two wild free-roaming African elephant matriarchs – Does large body size make elephants the shortest mammalian sleepers?

Distance between sleeping herds.

Bar graph showing the distance (kilometres, km) between sites of the major sleep episode of Matriarch 1 and Matriarch 2 on each day of the recording period when sleep occurred. The average distance between the sites of the major sleep episode for the two elephants on the same day was 9.3 km (s.d. = 8.1 km, range = 0.15–34.05 km). The closest the two matriarchs (and their respective herds) came to sleeping in the same location was 150 m, but on other days they could be over 34 km apart.
