After I finish the plate of sloths that went extinct in the last 17,000 years I would like to finish this plate of Cingulata (armadillos, glyptodonts and relatives) that went extinct in the last 17,000 years in the Americas. At least 25 species!
Results from the #paleostream
Aegyptosaurus, Prepomatodelphis, Doedicurus and Kerberos.

The doedicurus/glyptodont, Sandshrew ancestor Macedontus can partially bury itself in the ground, allowing it and its tuff hide to protect itself from attackers... at the cost of speed of course. Its armor is said to have inspired the design of many helmets throughout history.
A Dynamic Doedicurus! This is one armadillo that you definitely don't want to mess with...

We're taking #SmithsonianHistory back to the very first extinct vertebrates on exhibit at the @Smithsonian: plaster casts of a ground sloth (Megatherium) and glyptodont (Glyptodon) on exhibit in 1871. Today, you can come see the real deal in #DeepTime!
Ankylosaurs were dinosaurs, and glyptodonts were mammals, but both had tail clubs - a great example of convergent evolution! #DayofFacts
