00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.460
let's learn the top 10 slowest animals

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:09.780
koala

6
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:12.599
koalas are cute fluffy marzupials native

7
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:14.040
to Australia

8
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.139
they have a unique diet of eucalyptus

9
00:00:16.139 --> 00:00:18.119
leaves which are low in nutrients but

10
00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:20.520
high in fiber and they have evolved to

11
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.619
have a very slow metabolism to conserve

12
00:00:22.619 --> 00:00:24.660
energy they are slow moving animals

13
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:26.699
spending most of their time sleeping

14
00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:29.340
resting or eating

15
00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:31.140
giant tortoise

16
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:33.420
giant tortoises are very slow and don't

17
00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:35.640
walk very far usually only a couple of

18
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.800
kilometers each day they can't move very

19
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:39.719
fast because their shells are very heavy

20
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.520
they like to walk to their food in the

21
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.260
morning or evening but the rest of the

22
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:45.659
day they mostly eat and rest in one

23
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:47.839
place

24
00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:50.579
three thoughts love

25
00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:52.739
the three thought sloth is from Central

26
00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:55.020
America and is the slowest mammal in the

27
00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:57.300
world when it's on the ground it only

28
00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:59.760
moves at 2.4 meters in one minute but

29
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:01.620
when it's in the trees which is where it

30
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:04.319
likes to be it can move a bit faster at

31
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.879
around 4.6 meters per minute

32
00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:11.159
seahorse the dwarf seahorse is a small

33
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:12.959
kind of seahorse that lives in the

34
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.299
Bahamas and some parts of the USA it

35
00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:17.220
chooses a partner for its whole life it

36
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.040
is very slow and moves at only 150

37
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:21.659
centimeters per hour which is the

38
00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:24.180
slowest of all fish in the world

39
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.180
starfish

40
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.340
there are many types of starfish in the

41
00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:31.080
oceans and they live in different places

42
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.840
some live in cold water and some in warm

43
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.060
water starfish are not very fast and

44
00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:37.740
they move slowly using their weekly

45
00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:39.659
tubes at the bottom of their arms they

46
00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:42.299
crawl at a speed of about 15 centimeters

47
00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:44.640
in a minute

48
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.200
garden snail

49
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.240
snails and slugs move by squeezing their

50
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.700
muscles to make their Bigfoot move and

51
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.380
they leave a slippery trail behind them

52
00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:54.780
snails have a shell on their back that

53
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.820
they can hide inside so they don't have

54
00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:58.740
to be very fast to stay safe from

55
00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:00.960
animals that want to eat them garden

56
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:04.020
snail speeds are 0.001 kilometer per

57
00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:06.180
hour

58
00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:07.500
animal

59
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.080
sea animals are sea creatures related to

60
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.000
jellyfish and corals and they come in

61
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.620
different shapes and colors

62
00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:15.599
they usually stay in one place and wait

63
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.819
for fish to come close so they can catch

64
00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:19.980
them but they can move around on their

65
00:02:19.980 --> 00:02:21.800
one foot which is called a pedal disc

66
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.780
and they move very slowly about one

67
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.180
centimeter per hour they might be the

68
00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:30.379
slowest animal in the world

69
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.239
Sheila monster

70
00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:35.879
gila monsters are slow venomous lizards

71
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.700
that live in the USA they are big and

72
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:40.860
can eat animals up to one third of their

73
00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:41.700
size

74
00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:44.340
they stay underground a lot storing fat

75
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:46.860
in their body to hunt less often

76
00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:49.319
when they do hunt they can move at a top

77
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.260
speed of 2.4 kilometers per hour however

78
00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:55.440
they are not dangerous to humans

79
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.480
slow loris

80
00:02:57.480 --> 00:02:59.400
the slow loris is a very slow animal

81
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.919
that lives in Southeast Asia and is the

82
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.260
only venomous primate in the world

83
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:06.599
it can cover up to 8 kilometers at night

84
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.239
and uses its venom to protect itself and

85
00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:11.519
catch prey quickly the slow loris moves

86
00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:13.440
slowly to avoid being detected by

87
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:15.780
predators and can strike quickly when

88
00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:18.060
needed

89
00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:19.800
banana slug

90
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.900
slugs are slow animals without a shell

91
00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:23.879
and they can move even faster than

92
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.639
garden snails the banana slug is one

93
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.919
type of slug that is really slow only

94
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.959
moving at about 8 centimeters in one

95
00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:33.440
minute that's not very fast it's only

96
00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:37.400
0.48 kilometers per hour
