How long does it take for a sloth to move a mile?

since a sloths ground speed is 15 mph it would take that sloth 4 minutes to walk a mile. The previous answer is very wrong. Sloths are the slowest mammels on earth, in fact they are so slow that algae grows on them. This is why they tend to be tinted green. They are powerful swimmers but on land are helpless and extremely slow. I cannot remember how fast they walk in mph but I know it takes a lot longer then 4 MIN to walk a mile.

Who was the slowest animal?

the sloth -- especially the three-toed sloth -- is the slowest animal around. Their legs and feet are shaped to hang from trees, so it's actually hard for sloths to walk on the ground. They can't run or stand upright on their feet. It would take a sloth nearly a month to walk one mile! Sloths don't do much walking on the ground, though -- they spend their lives hanging upside down in trees. They eat, sleep, and even have babies upside down!
