I never would’ve guessed that the animal that slept the most was the penguin. Let alone that they sleep 23 out of 24 hours. I’m astonished. 🐧🐧

Why do some sleep longer than others?

The koala sleeps the longest among animals, typically spending 18 to 22 hours per day resting or sleeping. This extended sleep is due to its low-energy diet of eucalyptus leaves, which are nutrient-poor and require significant time to digest, leading koalas to conserve energy through prolonged inactivity.
