This data frame contains the following columns:
body weight in kg
brain weight in g
slow wave ("nondreaming") sleep (hrs/day)
paradoxical ("dreaming") sleep (hrs/day)
total sleep (hrs/day) (sum of slow wave and paradoxical sleep)
maximum life span (years)
gestation time (days)
predation index (1-5) 1 = minimum (least likely to be preyed upon) to 5 = maximum (most likely to be preyed upon)
sleep exposure index (1-5) 1 = least exposed (e.g. animal sleeps in a well-protected den) 5 = most exposed
overall danger index (1-5) (based on the above two indices and other information) 1 = least danger (from other animals) 5 = most danger (from other animals)
