<Extinct Animals in Cage of Eden>
Glyptodon
Debut: Chapter 27
Glyptodon ("grooved or carved tooth") was a giant armadillo that lived on grassy plains. It was a slow moving omnivore, but it had the ability to protect itself by hiding its head and tail inside its 2 cm thick shell.
Glyptodon belong to the family Glyptodontidae, lived during the Pleistocene Epoch. It was roughly the same size and weight as a Volkswagen Beetle, though flatter in shape. With its rounded, bony shell and squat limbs, it superficially resembled turtles, and the much earlier dinosaurian ankylosaur, as an example of the convergent evolution of unrelated lineages into similar forms. Glyptodon is believed to have been an herbivore, grazing on grasses and other plants found near rivers and small bodies of water.
