1913 reconstruction of Doedicurus and Glyptodon by Robert Bruce Horsfall Doedicurus , on average, had a height of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in), an overall length of around 3.6 m (12 ft), [ 10 ] and a weight of about 1,400 kg (3,100 lb), but an 8,000 year old specimen was calculated to have been 1,900 to 2,370 kg (4,190 to 5,220 lb), which could indicate ...
At the end of the Late Pleistocene, all then-living glyptodont species, which belonged to the genera Glyptodon, Hoplophorus, Glyptotherium, Panochthus, Doedicurus and Neosclerocalyptus, abruptly became extinct around 12,000 years ago as part of the end-Pleistocene extinction event, simultaneously with the vast majority of other large mammals in ...
Glyptodon reached up to 2 meters (6.56 feet) long and 400 kilograms (880 pounds) in weight, making it one of the largest glyptodontines but not as large as its close relative Glyptotherium or Doedicurus, the largest known glyptodont. Glyptodon is morphologically and phylogenetically most similar to Glyptotherium, however they differ in several ...
The largest cingulate known is Doedicurus, at 4 m (13 ft) long, 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) high [145] and reaching a mass of approximately 1,910 to 2,370 kg (2.11 to 2.61 short tons). [ citation needed ] The largest species of Glyptodon , Glyptodon clavipes , reached 3–3.3 m (9.8–10.8 ft) in length [ 248 ] [ 145 ] and 2 t (2.2 short tons) in weight.
Glyptotherium reached up to 2 meters (6.56 feet) long and 400 kilograms (880 pounds) in weight, making it one of the largest glyptodonts but not as large as its close relative Glyptodon or Doedicurus, the largest known glyptodont. Glyptotherium is morphologically and phylogenetically most similar to Glyptodon, however they differ in several ways.
Taxidermied pink fairy armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus)Chlamyphoridae is a family of cingulate mammals. While glyptodonts have traditionally been considered stem-group cingulates outside the group that contains modern armadillos, there had been speculation that the extant family Dasypodidae could be paraphyletic based on morphological evidence.
While glyptodonts have traditionally been considered stem-group cingulates outside the group that contains modern armadillos, this 2016 study conducted an analysis of Doedicurus mtDNA and found that it was, in fact, nested within the modern armadillos as the sister group of a clade consisting of Chlamyphorinae and Tolypeutinae.

[20] [21] [2] This is also reflected in the size of many of the taxa from this era, with mammal genera like Glyptodon, Doedicurus, Toxodon, and others reaching their peak sizes. [ 2 ] [ 22 ] N. pseudornatus is found in more tropical and even heterogenous environments than that of later species, but the species likely went extinct around 1.168 ...
