Okay, i know you already have tortoises e and snails up in your mind as contenders for number 1 spot but let's find out where this animals truly occupy in our top 10.

Chameleon

10. MANATEE/SEA COWS

it's definitely one of the weirdest marine inhabitant you can find.
Manatees live in shallow waters hence they merely float which is zero use of energy they store and what do they do all the time?
Eating and Resting daily, fortunately they don't have a natural predator (who really wants to sink their teeth in this guys?) so they hardly worry or stress over such.

For me, snail remains the slowest.

Slug.. and the koala of Zootopia

Naaah
The Animals in Aso rock are the slowest
Animals oooo

9.THE GILA MONSTER

They live majority of their life buried underneath the ground, this highly venomous lizard store their fats within their body after consuming half their body size so they can rest, sleep and hide from predators and not bother for food for long periods.

8.LORIS


Adorable eyes, weird human like hands and venomous bite, the medium size primate found in southern Asia takes the number 8 spot.

7.SEA HORSE


This special variety of fish rarely move alot thanks to their body structure and would normally prefer to stay where they are over their lifetime.

6.THE BANANA SLUG


This special variety of the gastropods cause movement through muscular contraction which makes them one of the slowest animal species. Most of all time this slugs lay under the ground for feeding and laying eggs and can do so for years. In such a way slugs completely put away movement from one place to another

That was actually a sloth.

5.KOALA BEAR


some of you must have already guessed this marsupials had to be here, yes truly they are.
Terrible eye sights and strangely not in any way related to bears, this adorable tree huggers are sub category of mammals called marsupial.
The strong limbs and claws of koala bear help them to climb on trees in no time and eat leaves of trees. Kola bears are one of slowest animals and because of their poor at eye sight would rather prefer to spend most of the time in trees.

4. THE GIANT TORTOISE


Synonyms for cunning wisdom and trickery in fair tales, this.
Tortoises are vertebrate with the longest life span and known for it’s slow movement.
Large body size and heavy shells make movement quite slow but they make up for this with their ability to store water and energy to live without food for a year.
Slow and steady is the motto of this impressive animal.

3. THE GARDEN SNAIL


Garden snails or land snails is a member of terrestrial molluscs and Unlike slugs, garden snails have thick coiled shells which makes them so slow in movement making them only capable of moving a few yards in an hour and their preference to make hibernation for years and avoid sunlight gives them the spot 3

2. THE STAR FISH


starfishes can’t move long distance and usually prefer to travel along with ocean currents. Star fishes are as slow with a speed of 0.02 miles per hour. Their star-like body structure itself causes slow movement in the ocean.
Starfishes have neither blood and brain (marine zombie if we think about it)
if they get cut down into pieces then new starfishes wil grow from each of those pieces.

1. THE THREE TOED SLOTH


Dubbed the slowest animal in the world the three toed sloth can be said to spend a major part of their life within the branches of trees in the tropical rainforests of America.
They are used to eating leaves of trees and conserve more energy through no body movements at all.

What still baffles me is how these things manage to survive hot periods with the absence of shells.

Yes they can if they feel threatened but normally they are friendly and like to be left alone

The one from Zootopia is a sloth, not a koala.
