watch in amazement as we move at the speed of some of the slowest animals on earth let’s talk about that good mythical morning everybody is always so impressed with fast animals cheetah oh he’s so great because he can go faster than a car while we’re tired of it around here fast is overrated and slow is the new fast so why you ask don’t ask us that well we just think it’s cool that there are some animals that move really slow but here’s the problem is that it can be difficult to visualize just how slowly these animals move and so what we have done today is we’re going to introduce you to some of the world’s slowest animals but then we’re going to show the fact that we went out in public and moved at the speed of these animals so you can know what it would be like to be in a human world moving head slowly we’re going to contextualize it can I go first yes so we went out to downtown Burbank and moved at the speed of some of these animals you’ll notice that we’re wearing some glasses in even me we’re wearing glasses in those photos videos and those are video glasses they worked about half the time or less it’s the footage that you see occasionally it’s okay alright first very slow animal the slow loris you know you’re slow when your official name has the word slow in the title this is a large eyed primate that licks a gland on its arm and it coats its fur in the toxin from the Glenn my grandpa did that it’s got creepy human-like hands that love to hold a little tiny umbrellas oh alright this thing moves at a speed of 1.3 miles per hour recess 2.0 921 5 km/h basically one step per second ok if we were to emulate this which we did so I put myself in the position of a slow loris if a slow loris was in downtown Burbank trying to cross the street you draw a little attention when you walk those slowly in public I confused a few women and myself okay how about the Greenland shark about it this lives in really cold waters in the North Atlantic Ocean Inuit legend says that an old woman washed her hair in urine then dried it with a cloth and then the wind picked up the cloth and blew into the ocean and that became the first Greenland shark so it’s got really just a cloth urine cloth that’s a legend it’s actually just a really slow shark and you’re talking really slow its it lives in such cold waters that it doesn’t regulate its own body temperature and it as a result it just moves very very slowly cruising along at 0.6 miles per hour that’s 1.2 2 kilometers per hour that’s about 2 seconds per step now this thing can actually walk but if it’s somehow we filled Burbank with water and it was to cross the crosswalk this is what it might be like I made a friend and you look like a Robocop like if Robocop was really rusty I’ve always wanted to do that all right we all know about the three-toed sloth but that just means we should talk about it some more because this animal is not only amazingly slow but just plain amazing look at the fingernails on this thing they’re like hooks Central and South America is lucky to have these slow moving things in the 1985 film The Goonies is lucky to have one – I don’t think that was an actual animal ah tree speed now on the grant these things come down to the ground to poop and they’re really slow on the ground they’re slightly faster in the trees but still really slow in the trees point one five miles per hour that’s point two four one four kilometers per hour if you want to know basically eight seconds per step so I try to do eight seconds or so I ain’t crossing the street anymore no no you can’t make it I can’t even make it to the street that guy asked me if I was doing a dance move I can see why that would be the case I was like no I’m just counting at eight repeatedly yeah okay the snail one of the most famous slow animals out there so slow they made a movie about how fast one was irani these are known as the terrestrial pullman eight gastropod molluscs everybody already knew that though you know snail mucus is great for the skin and using creams for wrinkles scars dry skin and acne so when you get that cream for your face you put in snail mucus on your face and it’s one of the reasons that they move so slowly because they’re dragged along or dragging that mucus along the fastest snail on record is the speckled garden snail but he still moves at a slow speed of 0.03 1/3 miles per hour that’s point oh five oh three seven kilometers per hour to put that in perspective that’s forty seconds for a one human step that’s slow this slow excuse me pardon me coming through just making my way through pardon me pardon me just coming through excuse me demonstrating how slowest snail walks take 40 seconds for me to take a step a lot harder than you’d think people just stopped and started staring at you a couple people pulled out their phones it’s not normal behavior I you know it’s video worthy and tourists alike I don’t know who this is or what this is but I California I’m Gunz California I’m a finger what about here okay you guys know hopefully that I am a fan of miniature horses that’s my favorite animal and the most miniature of miniature horses of course is the seahorse of course of course the boys okay alert the seahorse is not an actual horse oh it’s not writable it is a bony fish with no scales I didn’t know that they most of them hang out in shallow water near sea vegetation and they are also the inspiration for stay-at-home dads across the planet that you know they keep they keep the babies in the pouch mama don’t do that Oh daddy seahorse keep the babies in the pouch ain’t no deadbeat seahorse dead that’s right near they also very slow about five feet per hour that’s how much they move 1.5 2 meters per hour basically comes out to one human step every half hour that’s slow ok so I try this it’s basically seemingly motionless unless you eventually get on an escalator so I’m going to try to do that channeling my inner seahorse that is pretty frustrating to be a seahorse of course your unit out of the way yeah explain what’s going on I’m moving at the speed of a seahorse did you need assistance sir no I’ll get there eventually I want you to know that I am moving but it’s just it’s imperceptible however I call the security okay I’ll start moving to the side now just slide buying me that’s fine I’m headed back up this way now yeah I’m sorry you just can you just go around I’m moving at the speed of a seahorse I’m sorry this is thank you can you can you please help me just get up the last little bit and then I will be I’ll be on my way unfortunate need you to turn this off right now okay security made him turn off the camera but seconds later that seahorse didn’t make it on the escalator I made it I made it it was amazing it was glorious seahorse had never moved that quickly okay and finally the sea anenome which I always thought was a plant I’m gonna explain my ignorance here at MIT my ignorance it is actually an animal can you explain your ignorance I will explain it I just didn’t watch that documentary it’s like a plant it looks like a plant and it is asexual so if you are in the market for see antenna me to date ain’t going out just not going to happen they’re not interested they’re interested in themselves they usually spend their whole life in one place but sometimes they can move they really need to but when they need to move they move very very very slow point zero four inches per hour that is about 55 hours per human step so what does that look like right this box just for wishes and dreams are never true never L nope no you’re the one I wanna go through time with sunshine when she’s gone never die when she’s away ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone and she’s always gone too long anytime she goes away our you know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know wandering along little sunshine she go I took what could have been a very awkward moment and turn it into a duet that’s what you get to do when you move at the speed of a sea anenome you should try it sometime I really like that that guy wasn’t so wigged out that he just said get in here man when I told him I was moving in this even in a sea anenome he was like cool sing with me man you left the word speed out of that sentence but I don’t think it matters yeah I was moving at the seed of speed an enemy I don’t know what you just said but he understood you and I think that’s all that matter why don’t you take your mouse and move it very very slowly down to the like button and then to the comment thing I will appreciate you know what time it is I’m Emma Emily I’m wearing sevens North Carolina and it’s hard it’s been the wheel of mythicality make sure you like us on Facebook we’re doing Facebook exclusive videos over there this week we’re doing a vegetable off contest it’s more exciting than walking slow maybe not but it’s great click through to good mythical more where we discuss the ins and outs of trying to get up an escalator and getting kicked out and all that ups and downs trying things on in the fitting room with your mother Brett you get in here right now schools about to start um
