Starfish

Starfish are the slowest animal on Earth. But don’t be fooled; they are no slouches! They can still move up to two meters per hour. Starfish use hundreds of tiny tube feet and a sticky suction to cling to rocks, coral and other surfaces. They also have a unique way of getting around; by pushing water out of their bodies and propelling themselves. Starfish can even change direction mid-flight! They use their tube feet and spines to climb steep surfaces, like cliffs and rocks.
