      Either a three toed sloth or giant tortoise. Estimates vary, but these guys are the slowest walkers observed so far, clocking in at a staggering 0.13 mph at times!

      my son on his way to school or a garden snail which goes at a pace of 0.03 mph, I know snails don’t really count as walking but they are in their own way 😉
