Sketches of some South American animals that were once part of the famous Pleistocene megafauna, from top to bottom: Smilodon populator, Doedicurus clavicaudatus, Macrauchenia patachonica, Toxodon platensis and Megatherium americanum

Doedicurus - another recently extinct giant herbivore, belonging to the subfamily Glyptodontinae, known as glyptodonts. These armadillo relatives roamed South America's pampas until about 7,000 years ago, when they went extinct due to climate change and hunting by humans.

Doedicurus, similar to modern armadillos, had a dome-shaped shell. Unlike most of their modern relatives, it also had a mace-like tail, which was used for inter-species fighting and probably for defense against predators such as Smilodon and Arctotherium. Although we don't know much about the social life of Doedicurus, it's very possible that they lived in small groups or even herds, as fossils of some of their close relatives, Panochthus and Glyptodon, have been found clustered together.

The closest living relative of Doedicurus is the pink fairy armadillo, the smallest cingulate. These tiny creatures live in South America's scrublands and spend most of their lives underground. Despite their size, they share a club-like tail with their larger cousin.

Another #paleostream sketch

Doedicurus, standing bipedally. There are actual publications that indicate that even these enormous armadillos were able to walk on their hind limbs. Also their osteoderms show openings for hair follicles, so their armor was partially furry.

It's time for the monthly drawing recap!

In this month:

- Alfur collects sap to examine the health of this tree, unaware that on the next one, a Coelurosauravus has set an eye in him

- Woodman abruptly wakes up and loses his head when the rock he was resting on turned out to be a Doedicurus

- Two of the most infamous carnivores, a Tyrannosaurus and a Spinosaurus, are standing off, with Hilda caught in the middle

- Pondering over the events of the isle one year later, Johanna is unaware of the Shringasaurus hunkering beneath the bridge

- David observes a yearling Rodhocetus play with some sea urchins that were inching towards new kelp growths to feed

In Argentina 50,000 years ago, two Smilodon populator brothers climb on a deceased Doedicurus clavicaudatus to get a better view, while a herd of Macrauchenia patachonica roam nearby.

The first of my new fossils. There are two more Rock type fossil lines and then a series of Ghost types, hitting all the different types I used for fossils in my first region, Bretlan. Glyptocryst are ancient pokemon with sturdy, heavy shells to protect them from predators. Due to its smooth roundness, claws and fangs slide right off and only its underside is vulnerable, though still protected with dense fur. Because of their inherent sluggishness they are reliant on their shell and simply hunker down and wait for danger to blow over. Doedicryst have developed powerful tails, tipped with a crystal mace. Although still imeccaby well defended they are now able to use their tail and claws as formidable weapons to go on the offensive. Despite their icy finish, the shell of a Deodicryst is well insulated and were used by ancient peoples as igloos. Serembolt are quick footed and intelligent predators, adapted well to coursing through the tall grass of their ancestral home. Special feathers rub together as they run to create a static charge whilst other feathers are capable of storing and releasing it. Electrical attacks are typically reserved for defence as they are capable combatants with just their beaks and claws. Kelenkrak are powerful hunters, employing their immense beak like an axe whilst running down their quarry. They prefer the open spaces of the plains they inhabit to better leverage their speed and will flush prey out of hiding with bolts of electricity so that they may run them down. --Attack Info-- --Ability Info--
