Elephants sleep only a few hours a night - sometimes they use their trunk as a pillow! elephantguide.com/en/how-do-el... #Elephacts

Six elephants sleeping close together on the ground. Two are adults, and the other four appear younger, with the smallest curled fully into the space between its mother's front legs.

I tried so hard to pace myself with DIE, but couldn't help myself. Burned through it in four days. So now, i'm rereading. taking in the subtleties. look at this! I'm obsessed. The style, the story, even the colour palette. Sensational work @stephaniehans.bsky.social @kierongillen.bsky.social
