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
