An adult giraffe ruminating. It is fascinating to watch the cud moving up and down the neck as they process the food. Giraffes typically spend around 13 hours feeding and 4.5 hours ruminating. The entire process will take around 72 hours from browsing the leaves until defecation. When they ruminate the brainwave activity is similar to sleep!
