In the wild worlds, be it the jungles, the rainforests, or even the ocean, there are some amazing creatures that simply cannot run, but thrive in other ways

From sloths to kangaroos, here's a list of 8 unique creatures that cannot run due to their body structure, lifestyle or habitat

Sloths are extremely slow-moving mammals that spend most of their time hanging from trees. Their slow pace helps them avoid predators

With a heavy shell and short legs, tortoises are built for slow walking, not running

Penguins are agile swimmers, but they waddle on land and cannot run due to their body structure

Despite being quick in short bursts, snakes slither and can't “run” like legged animals

Sea otters can move on land, but are slow and clumsy. They prefer water where they glide rather than run

Kangaroos have strong hind legs for hopping, not running. They can move quickly, but not in a running style
