Basically a badgermole from Avatar, the last airbender
Exactly my thought lol
lol this is immediately what I thought of haha
I don’t remember this image being from ATLA, is it perhaps from TLOK
It was during ATLA, they helped evacuate earth kingdom citizens when the fire nation took over the kingdom.
To be fair it has been a long time since I watched ATLA
1000% atla. Secret tunnel episode. Maybe the best episode?
Most not remember it then
But… The secret tunnel song! How unforgettable!
I think so, looks like Prince Wu up to the right there.
🎵 Two lovers forbidden from one another 🎵
🎵 A war divides their people 🎵
🎵 And a mountain divides them apart, build a path to be together 🎵
...Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes... Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnelSECRET TUNNEL!!!
Secret Tunnel 🎶
Through the mountains 🎵
Bring the Cheetos 🎵
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
What if we domesticated them and used them to mine coal?
“A train derailed in the tunnel due to a giant sloth sleeping on the tracks. No word of survivors at the time of recording, but officials say that they are expecting multiple fatalities including the sloth.”
that sounds like the plot of Ring of Fire
Big enough to be comfortably used by humans
Pffffbtbtbt, housing crisis schmousing crisis. There’s your answer, chaps.
Just wait until some oil baron says that sloth-dug tunnels is the way to “deal” with climate change.
If they are willing to bring back giant burrowing sloths, I am willing to experience the “tunnel hovels to escape climate change” timeline so long as I get to be a sloth supervisor.
Coober Peby Australia has you covered!
The tiny thumbnail for this looked like a belly button on my phone, had no idea what I was tapping on at first
A(lmost)NSFW
The fun part is that you were more curious than apprehensive and were willing to subject yourself to whatever the Internet brought you for the day.
So my take from this is, the higher above ground level a sloth is, the lazier it gets.
I heard if you turn out the lights and kiss your crush, you can find a way out of the tunnel.
Teacher says, every time a bell rings, a secret tunnel collapses on two lovers.
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
I’m having a hard time not seeing a belly button.
And what happened to the giant sloths?
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 out, 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. 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.
but we all came from the same common ancestor which was the naked nucleic acid/peptide chain
But where does Scrat figure in this?
We ate them 😔
Miniaturisation and the march of progress
How do you think we got tardigrades
We domesticated them and made purse sloths.
I wasn’t sure if this was true or a weird misunderstanding or conspiracy type thing. Seems to be true. Here is an accessible writeup: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20231127-brazils-mysterious-tunnels-made-by-giant-sloths
I thought this was a posting to “Idiots of Facebook” at first. Guess I’m the idiot
… Looks like the recent images from inside my sinus’.
Less boogies though.
These giant slots dug these giants tunnels to hide from whom?
To hide from their responsibility.
even bigger sloths
enter X-files theme song
To protect their young would be my guess.
Short-faced bear or humans.
So long and thanks for the avacados!
