... Looks like the recent images from inside my sinus'.
Less boogies though.
I may not be remembering correctly, but didn't Sloth dig the tunnel in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood?
Edit: had to look it up. He did. Probably a coincidence
So long and thanks for the avacados!
Big enough to be comfortably used by humans
Pffffbtbtbt, housing crisis schmousing crisis. There's your answer, chaps.
If they still existed they would probably have moved into existing human-mined tunnels. Whether they'd wait until we abandoned them or chase us out, or help us build them, would depend on our relationship with them
At the "Grand canyon caverns" in northern Arizona, there are claw marks from a giant sloth who fell into the caves from a hole at ground level and clawed desperately to the walls trying to get out. They tell that story on the tour
Can you imagine being stuck in the dawn of human agriculture, and you seek shelter in a nice cave that you found.... And then a Giant Sloth just lumbers in after a bit.
I mean, I imagine any Homo species of the time would know not to go inside one of these, but still.
Basically a badgermole from Avatar, the last airbender
Exactly my thought lol
Sloths are well known for their industrious nature.
I heard if you turn out the lights and kiss your crush, you can find a way out of the tunnel.

SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!
...Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes...
Secret tunnel!
Secret tunnel!
Through the mountain!
Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel
6' tall? IG of that sloth? uwu
And what happened to the giant sloths?
We domesticated them and made purse sloths.
Miniaturisation and the march of progress
How do you think we got tardigrades
We ate them π
Earth warms up from ice age. Big sloth too fuzzy. Loses fuzz and tries to climb tree. Big sloth too big. Small big sloth gets smaller, climbs tree.
But where does Scrat figure in this?
Lol I know this is a joke but they died out, tree sloths existed back then too and are a totally separate group of animals. They didnβt evolve from the animals that dug this tunnel. They do share a common ancestor millions of years ago but this is like saying saber tooth cats evolved into house cats.
but this is like saying saber tooth cats evolved into house cats.
I'm pretty sure my house cat believes this is true, evidence to the contrary be damned.
So my take from this is, the higher above ground level a sloth is, the lazier it gets.
