Giant Ancient Lizard Covered in Thick Armor and Spikes Found

A giant ancient lizard covered in thick armor and spikes has been discovered by scientists in Australia.
The turtle-like creature is "one of the most bizarre lizards found in recent times," said the authors of a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The now-extinct species, which forms part of the skink family, lived in the Pleistocene, the geological epoch that lasted from around 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago.
