Clickbait title acting like it's a mystery...
It's obviously the giant sloths, because we can see the claw marks from giant sloths making them.
We've known for like a decade now.
Yeah.... But we have no evidence that proves they were terrestrial sloths. They were obviously creating these complex tunnels deep underground to hide something. Something like a space craft or teleportation gate to the sloth dimension.
You're just afraid to dig up the truth. #slothgate
I recently read that these specific sloths evolved into transgender hermaphrodites which ultimately led to their extinction. They've actually traced their rise and fall to the implementation of space lazers causing massive flooding around the world. Funny how history repeats itself.
Not every conspiracy has to end with gate.

They were big enough to eat them whole and poop out the seeds, so they're the reason we have guacamole.
Mom! The giant sloths have dug up the neighborhood again!
Elephants are also known to dig caves in search of salt
