What is the slowest animal in the world?
The sloth or the snail?
In fiction, comparing animal speeds dates to  ancient folklore like the famous Aesop fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare.” The story involves a hare challenging a tortoise for a race as it mocks the tortoise for its lackadaisical pace.
During the race, the hare falls asleep in a stint of overconfidence while the tortoise keeps going and wins.
The adage "Slow and steady wins the race,” emerged from the fable-turned-bedtime-story.
In reality, some animals live life in the slow lane due to their inherent metabolism and genetic makeup.
According to National Geographic, “ they move slowly to evade predators’ sight.
