This unusual looking animal cannot be confused with any other mammal in Missouri. It does not have furry skin like other Missouri mammals; instead, it has hair only between hardened plates of skin and on the soft skin on the underside of the body. There are two large plates with a series of nine smaller moveable “girdles” or “bands” around the midsection. The head, short legs, and tail are covered with plates. The toes have well-developed claws. The overall color is mottled dark brown to yellowish white.
