The cheetah has a speed that is almost like a sports car because it is destined to be a hunting animal. But what about animals that are destined to walk very slowly when these creatures also have to hunt for food?
There are some animals that have a very slow speed. There are even animals whose speed is only 14 meters per hour. Here’s a row of animals that are famous for being very slow in the world:

Turtles also have a very slow metabolism, which burns less energy. Galapagos tortoises spend most of their time basking in the sun or sleeping.
