We have read everything on the fastest. The list features some of the slowest animals in the world. By India Today Web Desk: The fastest creatures hog all the limelight for being the best in the world but at times, the slow eventually wins the race. Heard of the famous fable 'The Tortoise and the Hare'? We have seen enough of the fastest, today let's look at some of the slowest animals in the world, listed below:

Banana Slug

The Banana Slug is so slow that the top speed of the slug has been recorded at 0.3 kilometres per hour. They are the members of gastropod mollusc with no shell. They also have a capacity to live underground for several years in moist condition.

Koala Bear

Koala Bears are not at all a member of the bear family, rather, they come under a special sub category of mammals called marsupial. Since they have a poor eye sight, they spend most of their time living on the trees and thus, they do not move much. This is why they are one of the slowest animals in the world.

Garden Snail

Unlike slugs, garden snails or land snails have a thick coiled shell on their back which makes them very slow in movement. They can move only a few yards in hours. Garden snails move through muscular contraction. They also like to hide from sunlight, thereby, hibernating for years.

Sloth

Sloths are the slowest animals in the world. They also happen to be the cutest animals. Sloths are so slow that their name itself means sluggishness or laziness. The top speed of a sloth is 0.003 miles per hour. Also, they are so slow in movement that algae grow on them.

Starfish

The starfish moves up to 15 centimetres in one minute. There are about 15,000 species of starfish and most of them are very slow.

Gila Monster

The most venomous lizard can grow up to a length of 60 centimetres, and their weight can vary from 350 to 700 grams. They move at a speed of about 667 centimetres per second. They store most of the food in their body and the stored food makes it really hard for them to move at a fast speed. Although they are most venomous but due to their slow speed, they are hardly any threat to humans.

Too slow!

Has the US won a war by itself?

Despite the self-professed role of the US as the guardian of freedom, democracy, human rights and the world order, and the huge sums of money it spends on its military, it has never led a successful campaign to achieve the goals it set for itself.

chinadaily.com.cn - US has never won a war alone |From the Readers - China Daily

Despite the self-professed role of the US as the guardian of freedom, democracy, human rights and the world order, and the huge sums of money it spends on its military, it has never led a successful campaign to achieve the goals it set for itself. The US' unsuccessful campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq have forced it to beat a (not-so-hasty) retreat, leaving the two countries in unprecedented chaos and ethnic and sectarian divide. The US was thoroughly defeated in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Also, the Korean Peninsula remains divided to this day because of the US. And since for long the US didn't want to recognize the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, it has created a state of paranoia on the Korean Peninsula. As a result, people in the DPRK don't know when the US and its allies will attempt to overthrow their government by force. Until recently, the US claimed that it decisively defeated Japan in World War II, but ignoring the role played by China, Australia and others in that victory. However, the recent behavior of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the far right shows that the US has not succeeded in eliminating the militarist dreams of Japan's far right forces any more than it has been successful in freeing Muslim nations of fundamentalist forces led by al-Qaida. The US overlooks the fact that it has not won a single decisive victory on the battlefield. And it should know that it has to win over hearts and minds to create a better future.
