If it can't even travel 1mph for more than three minutes, would we have had to go through like 30 generations of sloths to get from SA to Israel?

Ark the safety place of Gods Chosen. once A Boat. Once A Temple the Ark of the Covenant. Now we are the Temple , and the Holy Spirit is the Ark. we can rest in the Lord every day. Its so simple some have to make it hard to understand. The sloth may or may not have been on the Boat with Noah.
If God wanted to he could have revived any of those creatures after the Flood.

According to Genesis, Noah spend 120 years preparing for the flood. He had sufficent time to get a sloth to his area.
At this time, most of the land on earth was a single land mass (ever notice on the east coast of SA exactly fits the west coast of Africa). So it was a much shorter distance, with no oceans between.
Genesis says that when the flooding began, the deep foundations of the earth were broken and the waters ruched forth. In addition to the rain, there was a quake which split that land mass, flooding much of it, and causing continental drift, earthquakes, volcanas, quake faults, etc. that continue to this day.
Plus the size of the ark, as listed in Genesis, would have given him about 12 million cubic feet of space to hold the sloth and other animals.
So the story might be for believable then you think.

Here's the thing. The pre-Flood world was not the same as the post-Flood world. Given God's command in Genesis 1 for the waters to gather into one place to let dry land appear, it would be a fair guess to say that there was only one land mass at the time. Sloths could have lived quite close to the Ark for all we know! Either way, there would have been plenty of time for the sloth couple to get there.

The sloth is some form of a generic other animal.Noah didn't have time to wait for that version.

That is the funniset mental picture I have had all day...the sloth 'running' to the ark as the rain is pouring down...saying "hold on"

Since this is a fictional tale, anyway you want them to. How about the pair traveled on the backs of the giraffes?

I would imagine that Noah carried it to the Ark.

very slowly.
No, seriously, God told Noah to bring the animals into the ark (Genesis 6:19), and he obeyed.
