What If Giant Sloths Didn't Go Extinct?
Вставка

- Sometimes it nice to just kick back and take it slow. Really slow. So what if evolution had the same mindset, and decided to take its time before getting rid of some prehistoric creatures? What if the giant sloth was still around? What would it get up to in the 21st century? Could modern-day humans even handle giant sloths? And what does this have to do with my guacamole?

Whole genuses of them, and none hanging around in trees.
Owen there were giant everything
Can relate 😂
There used to be giant animals but sadly Not much These days.
@@anime_enthusiast5622 yup, cause early humans butchered em all. Can't say modern humans are any better though.
If me and a giant sloth had "get out of bed and shower" race, the sloth would win in a long shot.

Thank you “What If” you inspired us to start our UA-cam Journey🙏
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind Giant Ground Sloths existing today.
A giant sloth describes me perfectly. Big, Slow and loves a good meal
5:10 *How my English teacher views my essay which is 1 paragraph shorter than she wanted it to be*
I never knew there used to be giant sloths walking in this earth. Thanks! I learned so much from this video!
We would be like those speedy ants to them
bruh I see u everewhere
More like "speedy dogs" in terms of height comparison.
This channel is based on a great concepts and filled with great ideas as it's name "what if" ...and I personally love this channel too because it clarifies my all the what ifs...
Thank you so much ♥
Really............slow 🐌 🦥 XD
BTW petition for making "what if pokemon were real" please
I think that's actually a really interesting topic. I hope what if creators will think of it.
Have a nice day :)
I will sign on it, where's my pen
Only people that already high this early in the morning would watch this
I’m baked rn
Am watching this before going to sleep. Where do ya live?
There are actually other countries except America
.fake news
I wish Sid the Sloth was my pet😍! So lovely and cuddly🥰
Saw a fossil model of one of these once, most insane thing I've ever seen
2020: Good idea
Don't make sence.
You know giant sloths aren’t harmful right? In fact he literally explained the benefits from it, so I wish, but they’re not coming back.
@@hellothere5030 it's impossible for2020 to do something, and if it happens also, nothing bad will happen.
UA-cam: sloth noises
UA-cam: No need to thank me
Thank you for the once again, awesome content! 😍👍😁 I love all your videos and have been a fan for a while now :) keep up the good work! 💖💞🔥✨
when i heard guacamole my eyes went *ZOOM* to my profile picture...
2:19: *exists*
David Attenborough: *_Amatures_*
On godddd
Then i would never miss sid 😂😂 😂😂
Me: Will I ever find love
UA-cam:Well, that’s a story for another What If!
It was a joke.
He made them sound harmless but realistically, they were very dangerous animals capable of short busts of speed to defend themselves.
Also, they were largely herbivores, but it is likely they hunted for meat once per month or so, like modern chimpanzees.
then life wouldn't be so cute
here to support the channel¬
i subscribed to you mate
fearless me to
It is said that they could be still alive in deep, unexplored parts of the Amazon anyway.
Some people have even claimed to have seen them.
I love that they made the thumbnail scary and made the video sound normal and help us have *avacados*
What if Albert Einstein didn't born? This could be an interesting topic.
No nukes
@@hatguy8225 👌🙏
Do you mean what is Albert Einstein wasn’t borne?
@@MohamedAlbarak or do you mean he wasn't born ?
@NNMCH Highlights maybe
"Kopi luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world" hehehe. Sucks to be you. I can buy 10 sachets of kopi luwak for $2
What if it rained for a week
there would be a lot of rain
Try this topic which is”what if humans were smaller than atoms
we would die?
@@uwnoodle that escalated quickly

Me: they are slow bruh we all know that
What if: *What does this have to do with my guacamole*
Me: *PFFFFFT*

I feel that, little sloth boi. *sleeps*
Then they would think we would have SUPER SONIC SPEED
3:14
Reminds me of Minecraft!
2:20 “Deliciuth”🤣
bruh u died at that part. idt it was supposed to be as funny as it was
@@annieh.5049 it wasn’t THAT funny but it was pretty funny cause it was unexpected
@@joelhernandez1600 where’s the part am I suppose to laugh?
@@preioh where’s the part where you all just scroll past a mf comment and not say shit.
@@joelhernandez1600 man thinks he tough. Smh go on. I’m listening
Giant sloths:exist.
Jaguars:finally,best meal ever.
You do know there are reports of an animal called Mapinguari right?
Basically it is said to be from 6.6 to 10 feet in height and with massive claws, reddish and brown fur and can walk bipedally and quadripedally with a large and thick tail. While we don't know if the ground sloth was aggressive, the Mapinguari was territorial and if you look at the two-toed sloth they can at times be a bit aggressive. Likely a living relative of the Mylodon a species of ground sloth that went extinct 5,000 years ago.
Also, we shouldn't bring extinct species back, because we need to focus on more important things like vaccines, cures, medical attention and even to conserve Endangered species.
To keep me moving you would have to put money in front of my face
Fun fact:
Scientists have noticed that sloths are begging to grow bigger but unfortunately they won't grow that big. They wouldn't be able to survive due to Forrest being cut down and also by 5000 they would grow about 25 inches but that can change and they can get smaller again
I was surprised about the fact that there were giant sloths more than the outcome of this video
Can someone please tell me why what if privated his “What if there was no police” video a week ago??? I didn’t even have a chance to watch the video 😿
The government got to him 😂😂
Celeste Casale what do you mean?
The pause on the intro had me laughing my ass off
Hypixel would be more famous since Simon is basically a sloth lmao
And hypixel would have a Sloth lobby and a dungeons floor of Sloths
Nobody:
Not even the demon in your closet:
What if: To reach the EXTRA TASTY LEAVES DELICIOUS
What if Titanoboa never got extinct...please what if, I beg you 🙏🏼 please do it😭
I have some questions:
*WHAT IF WE HAD ONE EYE?*
*WHAT IF WE HAD ONE EAR?*
*WHAT IF WE HAD NO FINGERS?*
I keep thinking you were going to say “what would you do?”
Next video suggestion: What if everyone was a millionaire?
What if a type of giant sloth never went extinct but is shy and elusive and known as bigfoot?
“ extra tasty leaves delicious “ sounded so cute lmfaoo
Breh we would make it go extinct ourselves.

Unless we "domesticated" Megatherium or some other kind of giant ground sloth. Not sure about the giant mountain or giant sea sloths, but that's a significant part of how the ground ones died out: humans. I'm not sure how giant tree sloths would come about to begin with.
They: "Sloth and, "adorable"
Me: what the hell ?! Dude sloths are really very scary
The intro is cutee😍
nice

If
Despite the superficial similarities, the Two-Toed Sloths (genus Choloepus) and Three-Toed Sloths (genus Bradypus) are not in the same family, nor are they closely related, the similarities are actually an example of convergent evolution, they are placed within the monogeneric families Choloepodidae and Bradypodidae respectively, the former is actually part of the superfamily Mylodontoidea, which groups Choloepodidae (Two-Toed Sloths) with the extinct ground sloth families Nematheriidae, Scelidotheriidae, and Mylodontidae, while the latter is part of another superfamily known as Megatherioidea, which groups Bradypodidae (Three-Toed Sloths) with the extinct ground sloth families Nothrotheriidae, Megalonychidae, and Megatheriidae.
Wow interesting
What if your mother aimed her slippers correctly before throwing them at you?
They’re so big they’d have to live in the redwoods! Lol.
An ark player I see
when I was a child like 6 years old i watched a documentary about that a guy searching for this animal for the next year's I was always scared to open doors for fear that that animal would be right on the opposite from the door. now remembering this already freakes me out. thanks for reminding me....
I think they will be like American animals with green card like Chinese pandas
“They would live in bushy, wooded area... in North and South America.”
Me, in a highly-wooded area: *chuckles I’m in danger*
Me when I saw this video: :0
Also me:I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT GIANT SLOTHS:O
It's a misconception that American megafauna and Australian megafauna went extinct due to climate change, we arrived in Australia and it's megafauna disappeared, we arrived in America and it's megafauna went extinct as well.
The video was in my recommandations, but killing bites (manga) urged me to click on it 😂🤣
Why do we need to find a use for every animal there is? Gosh we suck
2:20
Extra tasty leafs,delicious OMG😂😂😂😂
I didn't think there was a faster way to dooty on myself than ever seeing a 25 ft sloth slowly descend upon me! 😳 lmaaaooooo
I've never been this early to a video ever in my life
Then you might be the closest relative to the sloths...
Just for fun and not teasing...
Sorry if I hurt you
*WTF THERE WAS GIANT SLOTHS, WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THAT*
This video made me want to get a pet sloth :(
same can u own one??
giant sloth: huge herb
that means we'll have a giant carnivore too
A Giant ground sloth would be amazing to see in the wild
The way even the intro had a
dramatic pause was amazing. XD
Fun science update: at least one species of ground sloth (Mylodon) was omnivorous. Scientists recently discovered this from studying isotopes from preserved fur
The first scene is so cute
I feel like we’d eventually find a way to make it extinct somehow
because we did, thats how it got extinct
We would bc people destroying natural habitats and wildfires
Megatherium is a gentle giant just don't bother it when eating.
Answer:
They will be slow
People:GROUND SLOTH WAS GIANT
Sid in Ice Age:You wish
Please make a “ What if the World flooded from global warming!”
Waterworld.
That long pause after “this” had me question my hearing lmao
Damn its a nightmare
21 seconds ago... WOW!!!!!!
Please make "what if human being have wings to fly"
Well, the square-cube law would make them useless.
