# Load the mammal sleep data bundled with ggplot2
# Select "name" and "conservation" columns and those that include the string 'sleep' in their name
# Create a new column that contains the values of 'sleep_total' multiplied by 3
# Filter the data to remove domesticated mammals
# Use pipes to chain the operations
