World's slowest animal

Considered the slowest animals on Earth - Sloths - really are slow. Sloths move only when necessary and even then very slowly: they have about half as much muscle tissue as other animals of similar weight. They can move at a marginally higher speed if they are in immediate danger from a predator (4.5 m or 15 feet per minute).

World’s Slowest Olympic Swimmer

Eric Moussambani from Guinea makes history at the 2000 summer Olympics by swimming the 100 meter freestyle with a time of 1:52.72 - which is more than twice as much time as his competitors…even slower than the 200 meter record!
