Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.

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!

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.

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