Thunder lizards with their long legs are relatively quick, this heartburn-maker is 2nd cousin to the three-toed sloth! Top-speed about 2 mph.

The most famous one of these fellers was named Standly Immovable Glyptodont; when he was sighted on SoCal freeways, they called a S.I.G. alert. (SoCal joke. :) A sigalert is radio-guy talk here for monster traffic jam.)

Heavy traffic

Stuck in the Jurassic lane, huh?

First time it drops one, I'll bet you wish it burned gasoline. Of course, it probably IS gasoline.

Weird as it seems, glyptodonts were mammals from the Pleistocene, fairly recent. Early Amerinds used their shells as shelter and before they died out in the Big Mammal Die-Off 13,000 years ago. Their surviving relatives are the armadillos, anteaters and sloths.

I love their goofy seahorse-looking face; something as big as a small sedan, armed with a morning star on their tail, why shouldn't they look like a mildly-puzzled giraffe?
