Lazy Panda

Giant pandas evolved to be lazy, in order to survive their inefficient bamboo diet. They eat and lie around. Then they eat some more, and maybe lie around some more. Like celery, bamboo is low in calories and high in fiber, with the result that pandas have little energy to burn. To meet their energy needs, pandas must eat up to 83 pounds of bamboo every day – and that still gives them barely enough energy to move to the next clump of bamboo. Giant pandas have exceptionally low daily energy expenditure. That explains pandas' lazy lifestyle.

Lazy Koala Koalas are the cutest and they also rank among the laziest! The adorable fur balls only wake for two to six hours a day! Like giant pandas, Koalas’ near-constant state of slumber is food-related. Since most of their diet is eucalyptus. Eucalyptus, is a super-high-fiber food, digesting it requires all the little koalas’ energies. People often call koalas “koala bears,” but it’s a misnomer. Koalas are marsupials, not bears. The Koala is a unique animal!



Lazy Opossum

They move at glacial speeds and sleep 18 to 20 hours a day. They’re opossums, and once they find a cozy spot with nearby nourishment, they don’t budge. Opossums are the only marsupial in the United States and Canada. Opossums have more teeth than any other land animal in North America. Like other marsupials, these animals have a pouch where babies are kept while they mature. They are solitary and nomadic and have a distinctive slow-moving.
