The term 'slow movers' refers to animals that move slowly. This term can be used to describe OXEN, snails, sloths, and turtles. OXEN are domesticated animals that are often used for plowing and pulling heavy loads. Snails are small mollusks that move slowly by secreting a slimy substance on the ground and then gliding over it. Sloths are arboreal mammals that live in Central and South America and move very slowly due to their low metabolic rate. Turtles are reptiles that move slowly on land, but can swim quickly in water.
