Ice Age Wiki

Notice: I have unfortunate news to share from Blue Sky Studios, the creators of Ice Age. As all are aware, Blue Sky Studios was acquired by 20th Century Fox and later Fox was acquired by Disney. The Studios is being shutdown by Disney. I have submitted a request with Spongebob456 to transform this wiki into an archive for the purpose of safeguarding the content.

Glyptodon or glyptodont?[]

If you remember, there is a scene in the second movie where the traffic vulture talks about a specimen of this armadillo species which was overturned. You can read the quote here:

I can't understand if he says "glyptodon" or "glyptodont" (because I'm Italian) and so I need your help. Do you understand what he says? I'm asking it because we always used the name by which the animal species are known in the universe of the movie (mammoth, ground sloth, saber-tooth tiger,...) and not the scientific name (Mammuthus, Megalonyx, Smilodon,...), so I guess we should do the same for all the animals species of which we know how they are called in the universe. 

I think The nameshould change.[]

I think the name glyptodon or glyptodont title name should be changed to doedicirus since glyptodons don't have the spiky ball thing on their tail, and doediciruses do, plus they look the exact same just doedicirus have the spiky think on their tail.
