Description
Three-banded armadillo skull replica measures 2.5 x 1.3 x 1.2 inches. The Tolypeutes matacus skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The three-banded armadillo uses its signature shell bands to snap shut, locking its head and tail together to hide its eyes and belly from predators.
This armor features a tough outer layer of keratin, the exact same protein in human fingernails. These animals stay small, usually weighing under 3.5 pounds with yellow or brown shells.
This three-banded armadillo has a long, sticky, straw-like pink tongue that allows it to gather up and eat many different species of insects, typically ants and termites.
