Which is the sleepless animal?
1. Giraffes. In captivity, giraffes sleep just for four or five hours, mostly at night, but in the wild giraffes will only sleep for short bursts at a time. You might see them sleeping while laying down or, oddly, standing up, which is especially common among older giraffes.
Which animal can sleep for 3 years?
Snails need moisture to survive; so if the weather is not cooperating, they can actually sleep up to three years. It has been reported that depending on geography, snails can shift into hibernation (which occurs in the winter), or estivation (also known as 'summer sleep'), helping to escape warm climates.

Which animal dies after drinking water?

What animal sleeps 14 hours daily?
In the wild, koalas sleep closer to 14 hours a day, but also fit in five hours of relaxation. All this rest is necessary due to the koala's diet of eucalyptus leaves.
What creature never dies?

What animals Cannot feel pain?
Though it has been argued that most invertebrates do not feel pain, there is some evidence that invertebrates, especially the decapod crustaceans (e.g. crabs and lobsters) and cephalopods (e.g. octopuses), exhibit behavioural and physiological reactions indicating they may have the capacity for this experience.
Which animal Cannot jump?
Elephants can run up to 25 miles per hour. However, they remain the only mammal on earth that can't jump. They always keep one leg on the ground - even when running.
What is a lazy animal?
Sloth. When people think of the word “lazy”, sloths are often one of the first animals to come to mind, and it's not surprising. They sleep for up to 20 hours a day and are known for being extremely slow-moving.
What creature does not have eyes?
Like sea urchins, hydras also respond to light even though they lack eyes. When scientists sequenced the genome of Hydra magnipapillata, they found plenty of opsin genes. Recently, scientists confirmed that hydras have opsins in their tentacles, specifically in their stinging cells, known as cnidocytes.
