The Top Ten Laziest Animals

Cuckoos

#10

Cuckoos are famous for laying an egg in another bird’s nest and leaving the offspring to be raised and fed by ‘foster parents.’ This ingenious strategy enables the rearing of more baby cuckoos than would otherwise be possible.

Nurse Shark

#7

Nurse sharks are bottom-dwelling, slow-moving creatures that are safe for humans. They can grow to be huge—up to 14 feet long—and have powerful jaws loaded with thousands of small, serrated teeth.

Python

The snake catches prey with its sharp backward-pointing teeth, then wraps its body around it, squeezing tighter with each exhale until the animal suffocates. Another animal I would expect to see here.

Opossums are great tree climbers and spend much time in the trees. Sharp claws that burrow into the bark and a lengthy prehensile tail that can be employed as an extra leg assist them in achieving this. Opossums build their nests in tree holes or dens dug out by other animals.

Koala 

#4

Koalas can be found in a variety of open forest and woodland groups, but the presence of a small number of food trees ultimately characterizes their habitat. Where food trees grow on more rich soils and along watercourses, koalas can be found in higher quantities.

Hippopotamus

Hippos are giant semi-aquatic mammals with a barrel-shaped bodies, short legs, short tails, and a massive heads! Their skin is greyish to muddy-brown on the outside and pale pink on the inside.
