The Telegraph's rapid evolution to a tabloid rag proceeds apace:

Dinosaurs hit rivals like athletes hit balls

The clumsy, bizarre-looking mammals were covered with a thick tortoise-like shell and roamed the planet up to 23 million years ago.

That is wikipedia "knowledge" for you.

Glyptodonts were large, more heavily-armored relatives of extinct pampatheres and modern armadillos. They first evolved during the Miocene in South America,

The Miocene is a geological epoch of the Neogene period and extends from about 23.03 to 5.33 million years before the present (23.03 to 5.33 Ma).

Totally confusing that article, are they trying to talk about Glypodons or Glyptodon-like dinosaurs? I seem to recall from my typical boyhood obession that those were Ankylosaurs.

Ps Actually, apart from word Dinosaur in title and first line it would be ok. You would think they would spot that.

PPS We need a poll. Which would win between a Glyptodon and an Ankylosaurus?

[NotAllThere]

It's close, but the glyptodon wins.

The two-ton prehistoric beast - which grew to the size of a small car - killed predators by swinging its spiked tail with the skill of an Andy Murray backhand.

Perhaps that was why they died out? Over at Andy Murray's Tennis Homepage we see:

Andy Murray suffered his eighth loss of the year as he succumbed to a 6-2 7-6 defeat to Roger Federer, and with it, threw up his Cincinnati champion mantle up for grabs for tomorrow's final.
