  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.

    Lol I know this is a joke but they died, tree sloths existed back then too and are a totally separate group of animals. They didn’t evolve from the animals that dug this tunnel.

      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.
