[sci.bio] Hanging Upside Down?

mll@hpfcso.FC.HP.COM (Mark Luce) (03/06/91)

     Many different types of bats, some sloths, and I believe some
prosimians, spend their sleeping hours hanging upside down. Have I
missed any other animals that do this? My real question is, what is
the adaptive significance of all this hanging around upside down?
Why do they do it?
