The hairy armadillo skull is a masterclass in detail, showing the sleek snout they use to dominate the scrub. It packs expert digging anatomy into a compact frame, holding its own even against the three-banded skull replica, which is blunt and short to master the art of rolling.
This juvenile skull captures the lineage of the extinct Leisey’s three-banded armadillo skeleton replica, proving that even a smaller replica tells a massive prehistoric history. When paired with the six-banded armadillo skull replica, you really see the great variety in nature.
