Sloth: Sloths are famous for their extremely slow movements and low-energy lifestyle. They spend most of their time hanging upside down in trees, moving only when necessary.

Koala: Koalas are arboreal marsupials known for sleeping up to 18-22 hours a day, mostly due to their low-energy diet of eucalyptus leaves, which provide little nutrition.

Panda: Giant pandas spend a significant portion of their day eating bamboo, but they also have long periods of rest, often lounging in trees or lying on the ground.

Python: Pythons are large, non-venomous snakes known for their sedentary lifestyle. After a large meal, they can go weeks or even months without eating, conserving energy in between hunts.

Tortoise: Tortoises are known for their slow movement and tendency to spend much of their time basking in the sun. They have a low metabolic rate, allowing them to conserve energy.

Hippopotamus: Hippos spend much of their time lounging in the water to stay cool, only emerging at night to graze on grass. They are known for their lethargic demeanor on land.

Bear: Bears have a reputation for being opportunistic feeders, often consuming large amounts of food and then entering a state of dormancy during the winter months, conserving energy until food becomes more abundant.

Snail: Snails are slow-moving creatures known for their leisurely pace and ability to retract into their shells when threatened. They move at a sluggish pace, conserving energy as they search for food.
