Koalas are not lazy, they have a very poor diet. They spend up to 20 hours per day sleeping and the rest eating. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum. Koalas are not lazy, they have a very poor diet.

The koala is not the laziest animal. Laziness is a human quality, and not one found among wild animals that have little interaction with humans.
Koalas have a slow metabolism which enables them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed, and for this reason, they sleep up to 20 hours a day. This should not be confused with 'laziness'.
Koalas are lazy because they have a very poor diet and also they can sleep 20 hours a day

it would not be the basset hound for sure, it would be one of the breeds in the bull dog family. My opinion is the french bulldog, it is even to lazy to reproduce and is rated 32nd best city dog in America.
