Note that none of the known laws of physics say that excess energy is saved by converting (which raw materials?) into fat and storing them.


Sure, a mammal does not HAVE to store excess energy.

But that is entirely irrelevant when a mammal eats less energy than they consume for a while. In that instance they MUST burn some stored reserves or break the laws of physics


An equally plausible hypothesis is that the mammal feels lethargic and does not consume more energy than it eats.
