7. Sloth - Rest and Camouflage
These animals carry their name with pride. The sloth’s name comes from their habit of hanging from tall branches for hours on end, and their movement speed – a slow 1.2 inches per second (3cm). To protect themselves from predators, sloths often develop algae on their fur, leaving green and brown hues on their coat. This provides them with a superior form of camouflage.
8. Starfish - Smart Feeders
The starfish can travel at a rate of one inch per second (2.6cm)! To move, these creatures use thousands of small suction cups along their belly and tentacles, which requires a lot of energy. Since they are so slow, finding food can be a problem – that’s why the starfish’s mouth is on its belly, allowing it to eat whenever there is food available.
