Farmer Jose Antonio Nieves makes an unexpected discovery while taking a Christmas Day walk in his new backyard. He notices a strange object in the muddy water of the riverbank, which appears to be a giant black egg.
Despite initial skepticism from his wife and the local community, Jose persists in digging it out with the help of the police and archaeologists. The object, which is later identified as a shell or armor of the prehistoric beast, the glyptodon, weighing over two tons, leaves the scientists and the community in awe.
A farmer named Jose discovers a large, unusual object in his backyard that turns out to be a glyptodon shell. However, his excitement is met with skepticism from some experts who suspect it to be a hoax. Scientists examine the shell and find that it is genuine, but are puzzled by the fact that the hole for the head and tail are reversed, which they cannot explain. The shell is estimated to belong to a juvenile glyptodon, which can grow up to 11 feet in size. Despite the discovery and confirmation from scientists, Jose remains curious about how the shell ended up in his backyard and how long it had been there. Glyptodons were large mammals that originally evolved in South America and their remains have been found in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The discovery of the glyptodon shell by Jose has helped scientists uncover more information about this mystical beast that once roamed the Earth. The video concludes by emphasizing the mysteries that the Earth holds and the possibility of discovering something extraordinary during a simple stroll in one’s backyard.
