The Animals That Aren't Dogs or Cats Thread

I've never understood the evolutionary point of animals that sleep 20+ hours a day. Why would something even evolve like that at all?

They need to in order to digest the leaves and the amount of energy they get to it, I believe. Somewhere along their evolutionary path, this group found it more beneficial to be like this and able to pass on such traits due to competition, etc.

Gotta admit, it’s a pretty good lifestyle if you think about it…

1. Sleep / Take a nap.
2. Wake up, eat something that makes you sleepy and is pretty much the only thing your digestive system allows you to eat!
3. Enjoy getting sleepy (or basically being stoned out of your gourd).
4. Fall asleep.
5. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Maybe we should take some lessons from the koala!

Cheers,
