Zepelin and Rechtschaffen (1974) found that smaller animals‚ with higher metabolic rates‚ sleep more than larger animals. This supports the view that energy conservation might be the main reason for sleep. However there are many exceptions

Global warming is causing species to respond to a warmer climate by moving to cooler locations. Most animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions‚ such as temperature that enable them to thrive. Any change in the climate of an area can affect the animals living there‚ as well as the makeup of the entire ecosystem‚ global warming is causing these issues. Many animals are harmed and/or killed by global warming. Water temperature is affecting many animals‚ which is causing population
