Why does your dog circle 2 or 3 times before lying down?
Because it's replaying a scene from 30'000 years ago.
Wolves would flatten grass to hollow out a nest — and flush out insects and snakes in the process.
They'd end up with their nose into the wind.
The nose is the sentinel.
Circling is a full sweep of every scent… before closing their eyes.
There's also the warmth of the ground.
Their place in the pack.
And — maybe — Earth's magnetic field.
That part's in the article.
Fourteen hours of sleep a day.
Tens of thousands of circles in a lifetime.
Always on grass that no longer exists.
