Andes Armadillo Discovery: Parapropalaehoplophorus septentrionalis
The findings were published yesterday in the Journal Of Vertebrate Paleontology. Scientific American has a podcast about Parapropalaehoplophorus septentrionalis.
The creature is a member of a family called glyptodonts that originated in South America and later entered North America after the two continents joined 3 million years ago.
Amazing just how many new animals and ancient animals are being discovered.
