Mylodon

·162 words·1 min

I was a little amused to accidentally bump into a literal “sloth epic” on my holiday in Patagonia, Chile. We were visiting this cave where they had found ancient remains of an animal called a Mylodon when they announced it was a 2m armor plated sloth… I almost choked…

Someone needs to make this beast into an area or an epic… Apparently it had bones in it’s skin like an armadillo and probably had quite a swipe and bite.

Also on my holiday, I stopped at a place for a snack that had “Ass Italiano” and “Ass Queso” (Queso = Cheese) on the menu. I was pretty tempted to buy the Ass Queso, but who could pass up some good Ass Italiano. I’ve always had a fondness for a bit of Ass Italiano. At 2500 pesos it was also the cheapest and most delicious ass I’ve ever bought.

Yeah. Those giant, huge, long caves are not natural, Mylodons dug them up.
