A large extinct armored mammal resembling an armadillo, that lived in South America during the Pleistocene epoch.
From Greek 'glyphein' (to carve) + 'odon' (tooth). The name refers to the carved or grooved teeth characteristic of these animals.
Glyptodons were as big as cars—imagine a 10-foot-long armadillo weighing 4,500 pounds! They were so well-armored they were nearly invulnerable, but this made them slow and they eventually went extinct.
