Australia’s koalas owe their constant drowsiness to their poor diet. They depend upon eucalyptus leaves for survival. As a result, they stay awake briefly for four to five hours.

Giant Armadillo

Giant armadillos have a protective carapace, but they still prefer to stay hidden rather than rely solely on their armour, digging burrows where they spend 16 to 18 hours at a time.
