Still Waters Posted October 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Dolphins can stay alert and active for 15 days or more by sleeping with one half of their brain at a time, scientists have learned. The trick of keeping half the brain continuously awake is vital to the sea mammals' survival, experts believe. It allows them to come to the surface every so often to breath, and remain constantly vigilant for sharks. http://www.telegraph...f-of-brain.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
