I know normal titans are not intelligent but in one of the episodes of season
1 we see that they can learn to climb the trees in order to reach the scouts.
So why none of them tried digging a tunnel in the ground to pass the walls?

Can normal titans dig the ground?


**1\. Can normal titans dig the ground?**

Yes, they can. In **Season 2 Episode 10** we see

> Ymir digging herself out of the ground as a pure titan.

**2\. So why none of them tried digging a tunnel in the ground to pass the
walls?**

In **Season 1 Episode 25** at around 15 minutes the intermission cards state
the following (synopsis):

> Once a miner tried to dig under wall Sheena. At some point, however, the
> ground was so hard that his shovel broke. He wondered if the people were
> surrounded by walls not only above the ground, but below the ground, too.
> The next day the miner disappeared and was no longer findable. Unsure what
> to do, his friend eventually went to the Garrison, and told them the whole
> Story. The Military Police and the Garrison organized a large-scale search
> party. But they never found a trace of the miner, nor even the pit he'd dug.
> And one day, his friend also vanished, never to be seen again.

From this we can conclude that titans cannot get past the walls through
digging.
