"Did You Know: A new world record for the sleepiest mammal was announced in 2007 by New England zoologist Dr Fritz Geiser. After an extensive feed, an Australian eastern pygmy possum curled up and hibernated for 367 days - the first time any mammal has been known to hibernate non-stop for over a year. During its kip, the possum used just one 40th of the energy it consumes when awake. Prior to this, the record was 320 days, held by a western jumping mouse." Issue 203, June 2009, BBC Focus Magazine, page 48
