Sharks gotta keep moving to 'breathe' so they can't really sleep very long. Supposedly not more than 10min at a time.

I'd hate to be a shark. Imagine you oversleep and you die.

But how many times per day they actually sleep?

Kinda all of nature when you think about it actually lol. They always say the early bird gets the worm, but we forget that early worm gets to live! 😭

I dunno, I feel like the lion's probably doing alright at 20h of sleep.

True, but that’s only the privilege that comes with being THE apex predator. The rest of the animal kingdom don’t really have that.
