Bees sleep for as long as humans do, and they spend quite a bit of time awake but idle, too (not talking about distribution of labour here; that's separate).
That's still quite a lot of labour relative to most animals, mind you. Lions, crocs, horses, frogs, snakes, spiders, fish and so on and so forth spend a lot more time idle.
But I do find it interesting that the animal that most closely matches 'eu'social labour efforts are... humans.
There are reasons for that, of course.
Humans, too, are a social species.
Humans, too, live in fixed, defensible settlements.
Humans, too, engage in cooperative brood care (grandparents, neighbours with kids the same age, kindergarten and school).
Humans, too, place greater value on the reproductive success of their society than the individual (hence wars).
Humans are behaviourally eusocial, therefore they spend eusocial amounts of time working.

Did no-one stop to ask if this was just the introduction of dog genetics with a turkey baster?
The closest I can find is one accusation that these are just dormant genes that were "hidden" by evolution, much like chicken teeth, but that's still in 100% belief that the experiment is 100% trustworthy, especially when the experiment showed the foxes has better intelligence than all dog species and apes.

It didn't show that.
And foxes weren't transformed into domestic dogs.
They were turned into slightly more manageable / Friendly versions of their former selves.
And the Russians weren't the first to domesticate foxes either.

They didn't do it in Brazil you idiot.
They found a random single individual freak hybrid animal that most likely is completely infertile. No domestication or selective breeding was involved.

" researchers have found the world's first confirmed dog-fox hybrid in the Brazilian wilderness. The hybrid, known as "Dogxim," resulted from the unusual pairing of a pampas fox mother and an unknown domestic dog father"

Cliff Gray appeared on Joe Rogan and demonstrated convincingly that human-managed population control of elk was highly successful up until the 1960s. The meat from the culled elk was even given to the local Indian reservations for consumption. Then "animal rights" activists demanded an end to the practices, and that was the real cause of the problems with the elk population.

The alleged benefits that wolves bring to the ecosystem are mostly manufactured and promoted by NGOs to take money from suckers. Watch his video here:

This is your daily reminder to want a platypus
>>
You will never be a real platypus. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you can't lay eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by furries and autism into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your hirsute appearance behind closed doors.
Platypus are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed platypus to sniff out humans with incredible efficiency. Even humans who can swim look uncanny and unnatural to a platypus. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a platypus as a pet, itll turn tail and bolt the second it gets a whiff of your oily, clammy skin.
You will never have a bill. You stretch the skin between you toes out every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a floating log, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a dog, a leash, put it around your dogs neck, and take your dog for a walk. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll buy you with a collar marked with your dogs name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know that its your dog. Your imaginary platypus will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a thread that is unmistakably samefaggotry.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
