What is a whale's favorite bedtime story? A whale of a tale, of course!
Although we had never really thought about how whales sleep, this video, uploaded to YouTube, shows just how the giant aquatic mammals do it in their very own way.
Courtesy of underwater photographer Kieran Bown and his Panga MX production crew, the video is a snippet from the full 20 minutes of unique footage they captured while in the Turks and Caicos Islands for a research project.
They captured this footage of an inverted humpback whale in the waters surrounding Great Sand Cay.
"The whale was completely at peace in the water," Bown says.
While humans may shift between their back and side while sleeping, whales drift into sleep and end up vertical.
