Bullfrog: They are known to have short sleep cycles and can stay active for extended periods.

 Walrus: They can stay awake for days due to their unique physiological needs and behaviors.

Bats: During torpor, bats lower their metabolic rate and body temperature, allowing them to conserve energy without entering deep sleep.

Dolphins: They can shut down one hemisphere of their brain while the other remains active.

Pigeons: They have a sleep pattern that involves short periods of rest throughout the day and night, enabling them to remain vigilant for potential predators.

Bees: Honeybees have periods of rest where they become less active but are still alert. They do not experience traditional deep sleep but have periods of reduced activity.

Owls: Some owl species are active during the night and day, reducing their need for sleep.

Horses: They have a sleep pattern known as polyphasic sleep, where they take multiple short naps throughout the day and night, rather than having one long sleep period.
