Very interesting topic and fact @Elsa - thanks.
Here are a few more facts:
You may have heard that an elephant never forgets, but scientists aren’t sure why. It’s thought that humans process memories during REM sleep. Elephants, on the other hand, have been observed to only go into REM sleep every three to four days, and they only sleep for about three hours.
Most human infants need about 16 hours of sleep a day –about the same as a full-grown tiger! The sleepiest animal in the world is the koala, which spends about 18-22 hours a day snoozing.
