The glyptodont was a giant prehistoric armadillo, as much as 10 feet long and weighing 4000 pounds (2 tons).
The Glyptodon's diet cosisted of plants, insects, and carion the glyptodon was a large armadillo about the size of a VolksWagon Beetle
The Glyptodon was first discovered in South America or southern North America, but I'm not sure exactly where.
No it was a mammal that is related to the modern armadillos. It is now extinct.
I'm a 12 year old girl and this question is part of my science project about the Glyptodon and i have researched that...Most people say it was about 2 million years ago, so basically the ice age era. Hope this helps!
in prehistoric times there was a species of armadillo that had a clubbed tail called a Glyptodon
Because the Glyptodon was a herbivore, it is safe to assume their diet consisted of plant matter. The Glyptodon was a curved-toothed mammal that was about the size of a Volkswagen. They resembled today's armadillo and probably ate plants and grasses that grew near bodies of water.
Megatherium, wooly mammoth, saber toothed cat, similodon, dinohyus, paraceratherium, brontotherium, glyptodon, toxodon, icaronycteris, and procoptodon. You might want to look up the names on google though
Dinosaurs: Stegosaurus, Iguanodon, and Allosaurus or Megalosaurus. There are also some more extinct animals: Plesiosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, and Pterodactylus or Dimorphodon. Mammals: Toxodon, Megaloceros, Glyptodon and Pithecanthropus or Dryopithecus. Birds: Phorusrhacos. And creature outside the Plateau: Jararaca, Agouti, and Tapir.
It was a gigantic armadillo-like animal with a spiked mace tail. They were native to south and central America. It is known they were contemporary with Man but not known how they became extinct. The name means stone- or stone-relief Teeth and thismay refer to their rugged structure-all over.
Apatosaurus survived by eating leaves and drinking water. If they were similar to modern browsers, they may have spent as much as 20 hours per day. They would have traveled in herds, constantly moving in search of food. The herd, along with their huge size, would have been the main defense against predators for adults. They reproduced by laying lots of eggs, which they probably left to fend for themselves.
Do you mean instinct?If you do,then here are a few examples: -Mammoth -Sabertooth Tiger -Woolly Rhino -Cave Lion -Chalicotherium -Andrewsarchus -Baluchitherium -Doedicurus -Glyptodon -Mastodon & -Megatherium Remember,those are just a FEW examples.There are thousands more and I would not like to put them all on here:)
Alligators are related to dinosaurs in general. They are not more closely related to any single type of dinosaur more than another.
