Does this really applies to mammal when things like Koala and Sloth both have front facing eye?

Or does that mean dropbear is real

Those animals are like our primate relatives, they climb for a living, so depth perception is pretty important unless you want to end up breaking your skull because you miscalculated how far a branch was

because you miscalculated how far a branch was

Except koalas do that all the time. So often that they evolved extra cushioning for their brains

Don't underestimate sloths.

I mean, have you seen sloth claws? Crazy... I'd almost go for the monster from It Follows than a truly pissed off sloth ... at least, y'know, if it also knew where I was at all times and actually made the effort.

Their teeth aren't sunshine and rainbows either. If they want to bite you they'll grab you with their claws and pull you in.

So likely immortal snail. Only it's slower.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yea, except a sloth can climb many things a snail cannot. Though I suppose if the snail had good intelligence, it could pull tricks like hiding in produce deliveries and whatnot that a sloth couldn't pull off.

Definitely a few pitfalls for both!

While they aren't predators, they aren't really prey animals either, right?
