The typical length of the species is 75–100 cm (30–39 in), with the tail adding another 50 cm (20 in). Giant armadillos typically weigh around 18.7–32.5 kg (41–72 lb) when fully grown, however a 54 kg (119 lb) specimen has been weighed in the wild and captive specimens have been weighed up to 80 kg (180 lb). The animal is almost entirely hairless, with just a few beige colored hairs protruding between the scutes. The tail is covered in small rounded scales and does not have the heavy bony scutes that cover the upper body and top of the head. They also possess extremely long front claws, including a sickle-shaped third claw up to 22 cm (8.7 in) in length, which are proportionately the largest of any living mammal. The teeth are all similar in appearance, being reduced premolars and molars, grow constantly throughout life, and lack enamel. These armadillos have around 80 to 100 teeth, which is more than any other terrestrial mammal. Its body is dark brown in color, with a lighter, yellowish band running along the sides, and a pale, yellow-white head.
