The ultimate slow-motion showdown. The three-toed sloth moves so little that algae grows on its own fur, creeping at about 0.15 mph and climbing down from its tree only once a week. The garden snail is even more famously unhurried, gliding along on a trail of mucus at roughly 0.03 mph — but it hauls its own armored home and can seal itself away for years.
