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.
