Koala
Koalas are known for their laziness and sleeping abilities, spending only two to six hours awake every day. Their diet is to blame for their sleepiness though. Eucalyptus leaves contain toxins, are very high in fibre and thus take a lot of energy to digest.

Opossum
Opossums are champion sleepers, getting an impressive 18 to 20 hours of sleep a day.

Hippopotamus
Hippos have truly mastered the art of lazing around and sleep for 16 to 20 hours each day. When on land, they nap together in large groups, but they don’t just sleep on land; they take their naps to the water to and even manage to rise to the surface to breathe while still snoozing.
