Rest and sleep is the nature of animals, and adequate sleep guarantee can greatly heal people's bodies and minds. Infants and young children sleep more to ensure the healthy and healthy development of each day; students sleep more can make the brain relax, help improve memory; adults sleep more can regulate the body's metabolism, relieve stress, etc.; no matter how old or young sleep, there are great benefits.
In this rapidly developing modern world, many people's sleep time has been greatly reduced, whether it is a night owl holding a mobile phone to play until late at night, or a workaholic who is pressed by pressure to sleep, who does not get enough sleep guarantees every day, dragging a tired body, if there is a large and comfortable bed in front of who can refuse? Lie down and make up for a sleepy worm who doesn't want to get up.
In nature, there are many animals that have a lot of time to sleep every day; Little Red Brother will take stock of the laziest "five animal sleepy bugs" for you today.
Echidna;
There are two species of oviparous mammals in the world, two of which are platypus and echidna. And I want to introduce is one of the echidnas, echidnas live in Australia, rich in natural resources, with a long nose, small eyes like hedgehogs, look very cute, small eyes and large nose echidnas, poor vision, slow movement, but its sense of smell is very sensitive. With a keen sense of smell, echidnas feed on subterranean termites. Sleeping for 12 hours a day in the cave where it lives, such a long sleep, so that the echidna can easily live to the age of 50 (an echidna at the Philadelphia Zoo in the United States, from 1903 to 1953, a total of 49 years and 9 months, and it is not known how old it was when it was sent to the zoo. From this, it is inferred that the lifespan of the echidna may be more than 50 years).
Lemurs;
The most primitive primate found so far, living on the island of Madagascar, its appearance is also very beautiful, worthy of the most primitive primate, its face is both like a monkey and a fox, the body hair on the body, and a large tail. How long do lemurs sleep in a day? The answer is 16 hours, how long is the lifespan? The answer is 15 years; they are distributed throughout the island of Madagascar, and the different environments on the island have allowed lemurs to evolve more than 80 different species. Feeding on wild fruits, in addition to staying in the trees, lemurs also like to walk and play on land.
Possum;
Possums have been on Earth for 70 million years, they can eat both meat and vegetarians, although called possums, but some of them can grow to the size of cats. Possums are very docile, like to stay in trees to live, long tails can be wrapped around the branches, providing strength support. When food is plentiful, possums can sleep for up to 18 hours next to the food they find, a veritable super sleepy bug.
Brown bat;
Humans are the most widely distributed mammals on land, so who is second? That's right, the brown bat sleeps an astonishing 20 hours a day, only 4 hours awake, and as the only flying animal among the five "sleepy kings", it spends about 83% of its life in sleep. The animal sleeps in a head-down position, only at night, emitting ultrasonic probes. Due to the lack of food, they hibernate for half a year. In addition to the brown bat, sloths also sleep about 20 hours a day.
Koalas;
Nature's sleepy king sleeps for 22 hours a day, koalas, also known as koalas, have no tails, live in Australia, and like China's giant pandas, koalas are also Australia's national treasures. Koalas spend almost their entire lives in trees, not even time to drink water from the trees, feeding on local Eucalyptus leaves in Australia, super able to sleep, known as the world's cutest animal, only two hours a day to eat, drink, move, daze. Some people also think that the reason why koalas can sleep for such a long time every day is because eucalyptus leaves contain a lot of toxic substances, which make koalas dizzy all day long, and can only remove toxins from the body by sleeping.
After reading these five "sleepy kings", have you ever been fascinated by their cute appearance?
To sum up, it seems that a large part of the reason these five animals have been able to sleep for so long is because they live in natural resource places (echidnas, koalas, lemurs live in Australia or madagascar heated belt rainforests), do not rush to find food, and are also in such a good state of mind that they would rather go hungry than sleep;
Sufficient sleep time helps koalas regulate the discharge of toxins in the body, and also makes it the cutest animal in the world, which can both sleep and improve its appearance, which is really enviable.
