A Koala Sleep 20 Hours a Day
Wow, we thought cats really knew how to nap! Cats sleep up to 16 hours a day. Well, the Koala has got that beat. They sleep for around 20 hours a day. This is also related to its poor diet.
The Koala has adapted to expend very little energy. One of the ways it does this is by only foraging 4 hours a day. The rest of the time, the Koala is taking one big siesta. When it comes to looking for a place to nap, the Koala doesn’t look very far. Most Koalas will eat and sleep in the same tree. Perhaps this explains why Koalas are so often photographed. They’re in the same tree for over a day, and not moving very much.
