Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which is the slowest animal in the world? "
...
Sloths—the sluggish tree-dwellers of Central and South America—spend their lives in the tropical rain forests. They move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day, munching on leaves, twigs and buds. Sloths have an exceptionally low metabolic rate and spend 15 to 20 hours per day sleeping. And surprisingly enough, the long-armed animals are excellent swimmers. They occasionally drop from their treetop perches into water for a paddle.
THE WORLD SLOWEST ANIMAL.
The three-toed sloth is the slowest mammal on Earth, due to its lack of muscle tissue, It is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. All sloths are built for life in the treetops. Three-toed sloths also have an advantage that few other mammals possess: They have extra neck vertebrae that allows them to turn their heads some 270 degrees.
