Nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus). Cingulata is an order of armored placental mammals.Members of this order are called cingulates, or colloquially, armadillos.They are primarily found in South America, though the northern naked-tailed armadillo is found mainly in Central America and the nine-banded armadillo has a range extending into North America.
A traditional charango made of armadillo, today superseded by wooden charangos, in Museu de la Música de Barcelona. Armadillo shells have traditionally been used to make the back of the charango, an Andean lute instrument. In certain parts of Central and South America, armadillo meat is eaten; it is a popular ingredient in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Parapropalaehoplophorus septentrionalis was a comparatively small (compared to Glyptodon) species of glyptodont, extinct relatives of the modern armadillo.The mammal, identified in 2007 from the fossilized remains of a specimen found in 2004, weighed approximately 200 pounds and had a shell covered by tiny circular bumps.

Cut marks found on giant armadillo fossils suggest the presence of early humans in what’s now Argentina more than 20,000 years ago — far earlier than once thought.
Cingulata (from Latin cingulāta, meaning "the girdled ones"), [1] part of the superorder Xenarthra, is an order of armored New World placental mammals. Dasypodids and chlamyphorids, the armadillos, are the only surviving families in the order. [2]
Taxidermied pink fairy armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus)Chlamyphoridae is a family of cingulate mammals. While glyptodonts have traditionally been considered stem-group cingulates outside the group that contains modern armadillos, there had been speculation that the extant family Dasypodidae could be paraphyletic based on morphological evidence.
