⟳ Репост от screaming queer cryptid 👁️🔥🎨
When dry land is too far to reach or covered by high tide, seals use a "water bed": they jam themselves between rocks or grab kelp & take short power naps of 10-30 minutes. Lots of things are happening here: - unihemispheric sleep (half their brain remains awake) - muscular flaps cover the nose.
