Peltephilus, the horned armadillo, is an extinct genus of dog-sized, armadillo xenarthran mammals which first inhabited Argentina during the Oligocene epoch, and became extinct in the Miocene epoch. Notably, the scutes on its head were so developed that they formed horns. Aside from the horned gophers of North America, it is the only known fossorial horned mammal. Although it had traditionally been perceived as a carnivore because of its large, triangular-shaped teeth, Vizcaino and Farina argued in 1997 that Peltephilus was a herbivore.

  • 角犰狳(學名:Peltephilus ferox)是異關節總目下倭犰狳科的一種,僅有一只小狗的大小。在漸新世期間出現於阿根廷地區,並於中新世期間絕滅。正如其名,其頭頂上的鱗甲發展成角,並相信用於保護其眼睛。除了北美洲上的(ceratogaulus)外,此種為另一有紀錄的(Fossorial)有角哺乳動物。 雖然一般相信其大而呈三角狀的牙齒顯示角犰狳是肉食性,但亦有學者認為牠可能是草食性的。 (zh)
  • Peltephilus és un gènere d'armadillo extint que visqué entre l'Oligocè i el Miocè a l'Argentina. Tenia les dimensions d'un gos de mida mitjana i el cos protegit per una quinzena de bandes còrnies. Les zones no cuirassades del cos estaven recobertes d'un pèl tofut i híspid. Les parts cuirassades també tenien un borrissol curt. A causa de les seves grans dents triangulars, durant molt de temps es cregué que havia estat un animal carnívor. El 1997, tanmateix, els científics Vizcaíno i Farina demostraren que Peltephilus era en realitat un herbívor. (ca)
  • Peltephilus ferox, el armadillo con cuernos, es un género monotípico de mamífero xenartro emparentado con los actuales armadillos, del tamaño de un perro, el cual habitó Argentina durante el periodo Oligoceno, y se extinguió durante el Mioceno. Notablemente, los osteodermos sobre su cabeza estaban tan desarrollados que formaban cuernos protegiendo sus ojos. Junto con el roedor Ceratogaulus de Norteamérica, son los únicos mamíferos fosoriales conocidos que tienen cuernos.​ (es)
  • Пельтефил (лат. Peltephilus ferox, от др.-греч. πέλτη «кожаный щит» и φίλος «любитель», лат. ferox «свирепый») — род вымерших неполнозубых из семейства броненосцевых. Эти животные достигали размеров собаки и обитали на равнинах Южной Америки (в Аргентине, Боливии и Чили) со времён олигоцена по ранний/средний миоцен (примерно 25—20 миллионов лет назад). Жил он в основном в эпоху безраздельного доминирования фороракоса. (ru)
