Ross

I believe the answer is:

snail

(Other definitions for snail that I've seen before include "Slow slithery mollusc" , "Mollusc with coiled shell" , "Slow slithery animal" , "Proverbially slow-moving mollusc" , "Its speed was emulated by Shakespeare's creeping schoolboy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
