Denobulans are usually known for their long life-spans. An average Denobulan can healthily reach an age of 350 years, although they usually look visibly younger. Denobulans living around other races can get sensitive about their age, usually feeling old, even though they might only be in the beginning of their lives. Denobulans also can operate without food for considerably long durations. Eating not only enables them to keep up their strength but also accelerates their cellular metabolism. | Denobulans are usually known for their long life-spans.

Denobulans normally require very little sleep, but they do hibernate for a sleep cycle of five to six days each year. However, at a minimum, two days are sufficient. If a Denobulan is nearing a sleep cycle, they might experience bouts of dizziness as a consequence. If a Denobulan is awakened prematurely, the results could be somewhat unpredictable; hibernating Denobulans, if woken, appear extremely disoriented and confused, with oddly pitched voices, and have difficulty maintaining normal motor skills and cognitive functions. | Denobulans normally require very little sleep, but they do hibernate for a sleep cycle of five to six days each year.

If a Denobulan is awakened prematurely, the results could be somewhat unpredictable; hibernating Denobulans, if woken, appear extremely disoriented and confused, with oddly pitched voices, and have difficulty maintaining normal motor skills and cognitive functions. It is believed that due to the prevelancy of daylight (because Denobula orbits three stars) causes Denobulans to sleep less, over time they are thought to have evolved to adopt to this. | ||
Denobulans had highly efficient natural climbing abilities similar to those of Earth lizards, being capable of scaling vertical rock faces at a rapid speed with no equipment whatsoever. In this manner, a Denobulan could appear to scuttle up a rock face without needing to find handholds. | Denobulans had highly efficient natural climbing abilities similar to those of Earth lizards, being capable of scaling vertical rock faces at a rapid speed with no equipment whatsoever.
