Giant Armadillo

The Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus) has scant hairs, and is generally
dark brown with a white band on the edge of the shell.  The largest of the
armadillos, the giant armadillo can grow up to 1.5 m in length and weigh up to
55 kg.  There are 11 to 13 movable bands on the shell, and 3 to 4 on the back
of the neck.  The carapace is very flexible.  P. maximus possesses large claws
on the forefeet; the largest one, found on the 3rd toe, measures 203 mm along
the curve.  These animals are remarkably different from the standard mammalian
tooth pattern, possessing up to 100 teeth, which are shed as the animal ages.
Females have two mammae.
