What’s the most energy efficient thing you can do?
Nothing.
If you’re not hungry, it’s not mating season, and there are no challengers for your territory… why do anything?
Reptiles and arthropods have taken a much different evolutionary path to success that relies on massive energy efficiency. They require very little energy and can thus live for a very long time without food and/or survive in poor environments.
