9 Hours of Boring Facts About Animals to Fall Asleep To

9 Hours of Boring Facts About Animals to Fall Asleep To

In this calm and deliberately boring episode, you'll listen to hours and hours of quiet facts about animals. You will learn that a cat's purr vibrates at a frequency between twenty-five and one hundred fifty hertz, that a horse can sleep standing up because a locking mechanism in its legs keeps it from falling over, and that a bear's heart rate can drop to as few as eight beats per minute during the deepest months of winter hibernation. You will hear how dogs dream in short bursts of rapid eye movement just like humans do, how wolves once roamed across nearly every continent in the northern hemisphere, and how a single honeybee will produce only about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime. You will discover that elephants can recognize themselves in mirrors, that certain species of octopus change color while they sleep, and that the oldest known tortoise lived past one hundred and eighty years without anyone being entirely sure of the exact number. Across these hours, the facts stay small and steady, covering everything from familiar household pets to creatures that live in places most people will never visit. Tonight, as you listen, you can simply rest inside the thought that even the most ordinary subject contains more quiet details than anyone could ever notice at once.
