Abstract
Two structural abnormalities are reported in southern three-banded armadillos Tolypeutes matacus (Chlamyphoridae) from Paraguay. Additional reports of individuals with amputated legs are noted, and a potential explanation for the frequency of such occurrences associated with predation and their defensive behaviour is hypothesized. This is the first documented report of a band anomaly for adults of this species.
