Glyptodon, and most of the American megafauna, became extinct by about 10,000 years ago. It is believed that humans hunted these animals and used their bony shells as shelters during inclement weather.
How long did the Glyptodon live for?
Glyptodon went extinct on the precipice of the last Ice Age – or about 10,000 years ago.
How did Glyptodon survived?
Like most other xenarthrans, glyptodonts had lower energy requirements than most other mammals. They could survive with lower intake rates than other herbivores with similar mass. Glyptodon grazed near water sources such as rivers and lakes.
