Mammals and Wildlife

Glyptodont is Gina's watercolor for the Jumbo prompt, day 28 of Inktober 2024. These armored relatives of armadillos originated in South America before spreading north. They persisted into the Pleistocene, dying out near its end, and the biggest grew about 10 feet (3 meters) in length. Many small plates cover the domed shell, and clawed feet and a small head project from it.
