A glyptodon, 20th century
A glyptodon, 20th century. Glyptodon was a large, armoured mammal, related to the armadillo, that lived during the Pleistocene Epoch. Flatter than a Volkswagen Beetle, but about the same general size and weight, the Glyptodon is believed to have been a herbivore, grazing on grasses and other plants found near rivers and small bodies of water. A large and heavy mammal, it could probably only have moved one or two miles per hour

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable glyptodon, a prehistoric mammal that roamed the Earth during the 20th century. Belonging to the same family as armadillos, this colossal creature was armored from head to tail, resembling a flattened version of a Volkswagen Beetle in size and weight. The Glyptodon's existence dates back to the Pleistocene Epoch, an intriguing geological period characterized by dramatic climatic changes. As an herbivore, it is believed that this magnificent beast grazed on grasses and other plants near rivers and small bodies of water. Its immense size and weight limited its mobility to a sluggish pace of only one or two miles per hour. This monochrome image captures both the strength and vulnerability of this ancient vegetarian giant. The photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with science and geology, offering us glimpses into Earth's rich history. Although created by an unknown artist, it stands as a powerful reminder of our connection to these awe-inspiring creatures that once roamed our planet millions of years ago.
