The Northern Naked-tailed armadillos live in Central and South America. They have a short broad snout, large funnel-shaped ears and small eyes.
Multiple squarish scutes cover their upper body. Ten to thirteen bands of these scutes provide the animal with flexibility. These bands look indistinct compared to other armadillo species. The dark grey-brown upper shell shows a yellowish tinge on the lower margin.
