Sea Horse
The slowest animal on Earth is the sea horse! It moves at a whopping 0.01 mph. To put it in perspective, a snail can outrun it! It also moves its head in an up-and-down motion, not side-to-side like most other fish. Its tail is prehensile, allowing it to hold on to objects. It can even curl up into a spiral shape! Its diet consists of small crustaceans and plankton. Sea horses are masters of camouflage, blending in with their surroundings. They have excellent eyesight and can detect predators from far away.
