When it's sunny, and you're sitting in your favorite spot, it's not unusual to nod off. You can feel your hear start to droop, down, down, down... And you're fast asleep before you hit the ground, and you won't notice your weird position until you wake up with a ache in your neck.

Latin name: Chrysocyon Brachyurus

Originates from South America.
