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!

Ankylosaurs were dinosaurs, and glyptodonts were mammals, but both had tail clubs - a great example of convergent evolution!
