Migrating wild elephant getting a short nap in Valparai😴 Elephants are the shortest sleeping mammal. How elephants survive on so little sleep remains a mystery. Asian elephants are more crepuscular in nature.They are more active during dawn and dusk. Takes short nap of 5-30 min!

Happy Morning ☺️ A long awaited 📷 Black and Orange flycatcher 🐦 Inhabits montane shola forests from 1000 meters upwards. Calls are short bursts of buzzy notes. @atrpollachi @ThePhotoHour @ntca_india @IndiAves @Britnatureguide #BirdsSeenIn2023 #BirdsOfTwitter
