Glyptotherium floridanum was a massive, armored relative of modern armadillos. These giants roamed North America from approximately 1.8 million to 12,000 years ago.
Glyptodont diversity diminished into the Pleistocene, though they peaked in size during this period. Glyptotherium is considered an example of American megafauna, most of which are now extinct. They were primarily a grazer that lived on open grasslands, though it also consumed fruits and other plants.
