Holmesina<\/strong><\/em> is an extinct genus of mammal related to modern armadillos, characterized by armor composed of movable bony and keratinous plates, which lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch, from approximately 2 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Unlike modern armadillos, which are insectivorous or omnivorous, Holmesina<\/em> was a herbivore that spent all day grazing. Furthermore, it was much larger than modern armadillos, reaching a length of 2 meters and weighing up to 227 kg, whereas a modern giant armadillo reaches a maximum length of 1.5 meters and weighs up to 54 kg.<\/p>\n
