The southern naked-tailed armadillo is a mammal from the armadillo order. It has a bony shell on its body and a completely naked tail. The animal inhabits the tropical forests of South America.
The southern naked-tailed armadillo differs from other armadillos by its completely naked tail. It is beneficial to nature because it eats harmful insects and loosens the soil.
