Three-Toed Sloth is the slowest animal on earth. The average speed of a three-toed sloth is just 1 foot per minute. These sloths possess a very slow metabolic rate which results in their slow movement. Believe it or not, Three-toed sloths travel at a speed of less than 18m/hour.

    Three toed sloths may be the slowest land animal. The real slowest animal in the world is a sea anemone which has only a maximum speed of 10 inches per hour.

    The animal with the slowest movement on Earth is the three-toed sloth (Bradypus), particularly the species brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus). Sloths are known for their incredibly slow pace, primarily because their metabolism is extremely slow and their muscle mass is adapted for hanging in trees rather than for fast movement.

    On average, a sloth moves at a speed of about 0.03 miles per hour (0.05 km/h), but they can sometimes move even slower. This slow pace is an adaptation to their low-energy diet of leaves and their need to conserve energy. The sloth's slow movements also help it remain less detectable to predators like jaguars and harpy eagles.
