  1. I'm liking sloths the more you talk about them. It surprises me how closely they resemble bears in some cases and I'll never forget that they used to grow WAY larger than them. You did good expanding on their role in Kaimere and I look forward to what comes next.

  2. Cougar sloth ?
    That mean they know what a cougar is ?
    That mean there's cougar in the known world.

    Well if they have leopard it's not a surprise since puma are basically spotlesse leopard and have similar prey and behaviour as well as being very adaptable.
    Maybe even more in colder environnement.

    Now we need to know where are tigers and jaguar.

    Tiger would die cauz of competition, or in small forested area.

    And jaguar would like large humid swamp and wetlands and still survive in jungle, savanah and forest

  3. Right on!! Definitely some of my favorite kaimere animals, especially after the redesigns. The Sakuur looks much better now! I'm stoked to craft these amazing beasts in the future!. On a different note, 24:51 That Ogre is well and truly fucked… in fact I don't think I've seen anybody so fucked before, even if he was the Bruce Lee of ogres he's still gonna get horribly mangled!

  4. We are blessed with an episode as hefty as the Hukolgur.
    1. Are there any friend sized Hukolgur on the islands?
    2. What's the craziest/most impressive thing a Hukolgur has done? I wanna hear a wacky story.
    3. Is the OG Sakuur canon? If so, will it be redesigned/altered?
    4. How come no marine sloths ever attained Hukolgur sizes? Given their chokehold on the Inland Sea, I would've expected more than just 4-5 tons.
    5. Was the Byamdan cut from this video or is that one of the single species?

  5. Ever since the first episode i've started to really appreciate sloths, and now this episode has greatly enhanced that love for the extinct xenarthrans. I can't wait to learn more about other xenarthrans in Kaimere as well!

  6. Hey, completely off topic here, you once said there were humans on kaimere both as slaves, free on certain islands, and elsewhere beyond the known world. Considering the slow reproduction rate of kaimerans, wouldn’t human beings be actually quite invasive. Humans don’t have the same magic capability, but when it comes to raw logistics we outpace them and can easily outnumber them in the right circumstances. They require twice as much food as we do, so purposefully burning things like wheat fields, we would be incredibly successful in killing them. As I see it currently kaimerans in the right circumstances can quite easily win certain battles, but to fight years long sieges or years long front lines in things like trenches, or just war zones that lasts maybe even decades I don’t see how they would succeed. Also second question sorry, when are you going to cover animal things like horses, mounts and common shepherded animals that go in pens?

  7. Wow, this is the longest Kaimere video yet. Way to go Keenan!
    I love all the expanded knowledge about the sloths and their diversity. But I want to know if some of the names given from your first sloth video still apply. The names confirmed to still be valid are the Hukolgor, the Urutumotu, the Gu, the Wojun or Red Bear Sloth, and the Black Sloth or Katamotu. The tree sloths include one three-toed and two of the two-toed sloths.
    The names I want a status update on are the aquatic sloths Mawiri, Gimurr and Biluur, and the prairie sloths Taruul, Emane, Ukugor, and Tarem.
    I really love what you did with the Sakuur. It's a fantastic new design!
    You're the gift that keeps on giving, Keenan!

  8. This has to be the longest episode you've ever done, basically the size of a documentary episode, and I'm all here for it (third time rewatching). It's essentially an expanded and refined version of the old sloth episode, which was one of my favorites back then. All the additional lore, redesigns and newly introduced species are great. And I'm sure a lot more could be said down the line. In particular I hope thet you'll have the opportunity to go more in depth about the marine sloths and the simiomorphs at some point.

  9. After this video I had a documentary about sloth pop-up in my 4U, There's actually a Cave in Lubbock That has the bodies of 4 of neolithic hunters That were slapped into paste by a Jefferson's ground sloth
