This pic was always stupid to me cause what the fuck could the Gylptodon do to warrant humans having to resort to stealth?

It's probably easier to get a good shot in if it doesn't curl into a ball. Also it could probably just run away.

Take a good look at that thing
Tell me how fast do you think it is
>>
>>5153495
You probably wouldn't predict that hippos or alligators can reach 30 km/h and 20 km/h top speeds either. It's fucking huge if nothing else which already means it can cover large distances even if it "moves slow".
>>
>>5153500
Incidentally armadillos sprint up to 50 km/h (and jump pretty well too), though of course they don't have a giant humpback shell (but also, they have way shorter legs.)

He knows what they did and he makes them feel gylpty.

You're now making me imagine a glyptodon beating up prehistoric humans with flying kicks and tackles
>>
>>5153494
Also, while it didn't have the full mace of other glyptodont, glyptodon did still have a heavily armored tail used for combat.
>>
>>5153493
Never, ever, forget that the number one killer of humans in animal encounters even today, is the pure and simple fact that many humans lack proper respect of the capabilities of animals and get too cocky and arrogant.

Thagomizer.

>>5153531
Thagomizer is specifically the tail whomper of the stego family, glyptodont have a mace.

are these supposed to be women?

Judgement

>>5153493
I'm more confused about the early humans being completely hairless yet also lacking pelts.

Marcion was right

It could effortlessly trample them to death

What's your strategy for taking it head on? Watch it no-sell your weapon with its shell before it crushes or bludgeons you to death?

Flip it over

Fool.
Domestic life has dulled your instincts.
If alerted this godless beast will enter its ball form and accelerate towards you at lethal speeds.

depresses me they're gone. of all the "predators" I really don't get why the fuck we targeted those either. If you don't go near it it won't do anything

Look at how pissed he was. You don't want to get in his way
>>
>>5154350
At least with glyptodont, they most likely died off from environmental change, not human hunting. We only have evidence of humans hunting doedicurus but the larger glyptodon when extinct at the same time.
