How do mahi mahi sleep?

Mahi mahi, or dolphinfish, do not have a traditional sleep pattern like many terrestrial animals. Instead, they experience periods of rest where their activity levels decrease, and they may stay near the surface or seek shelter among floating debris. During these times, their metabolism slows, allowing them to conserve energy while remaining alert to potential predators. They do not have eyelids, so their eyes remain open, but they can still enter a restful state.
