The American Museum of Natural History has an entire room of huge, bizarre mammal fossils.

The Smithsonian has a bunch too. I especially like the glyptodons, huge armadillos that may have been hunted to extinction because people used their shells as **shelters**.

Yes, the glyptodons. What an interesting group of mammals!
