[First image shows a black and white movie where it looks like humans are trying to either hide from, or hunt, a giant armadillo.
Second and third images show text from Wikipedia:
Second:
Recent genetic research has shown that the megafaunal glyptodonts (up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) tall with maximum body masses of around 2 tonnes), which became extinct around 12,000 years ago are true armadillos more closely related to all other living armadillos than to Dasypus (the long-nosed or naked-tailed armadillos). Armadillos are currently classified into two families, Dasypodidae, with Dasypus as the only living genus, and Chlamyphoridae, which contains all other living armadillos as well as the glyptodonts.
Third:
Phylogeny Below is a recent simplified phylogeny of the xenarthran families, which includes armadillos. The dagger symbol, "†", denotes extinct groups. Superorder Xenarthra Order Cingulata Families: Dasypodidae (Armadillos) (circled with a note saying, "contains ONE surviving genus of armadillo not closely related to other armadillos. Animal shown in the movie is here.") †Pampatheriidae Chlamyphoridae (Armadillos) (circled with a note saying, "Contains EVERY other living genera of armadillo. Glyptodonts belonged here when alive.") Order Pilosa Suborder Vermilingua Families: Cyclopedidae Myrmecophagidae Suborder Folivora Families: †Megatheriidae †Nothrotheriidae Bradypodidae †Mylodontidae †Megalonychidae
Next three images are armadillos, and the final one is the fossilized shell and skeleton of a glyptodont. The movie armadillo and second armadillo have striped areas where their shells are articulated. The glyptodont and Cabassous armadillos don't.
End ID.]
Oh, I just found a really funny picture from one of those old-timey movies in which they used actual animals to portray prehistoric ones:

I mean, using a modern armadillo species to portray some sort of glyptodont (I guess that’s where they were going with this?) is much more accurate than using an iguana to portray a Tyrannosaurus but I cannot overstate just how much this guy here is one of the furthest living things to a glyptodont you can still call an armadillo.

@ruisinjams page 83 puts us in the family Bradypodidae - three-toed sloths
your mammal is
THE PALE-THROATED THREE-TOED SLOTH
Tumblr media
my housemate has a book with all the mammals of the world - if you give me a page number between 30 and 693 i will assign you a mammal and that will officially be your mammal

From The Guardian: A sloth bear in in the Amazon rainforest, near Iquitos, Peru. Sloths are medium-sized mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths), classified into six species. Photograph: Sergi Reboredo/Alamy
Note: contrary to the caption, copied from The Guardian, this is not a sloth bear. Here’s a sloth bear:

The three-toed or three-fingered sloths are arboreal neotropical mammals . They are the only members of the genus Bradypus and the family Bradypodidae. The four living species of three-toed sloths are the brown-throated sloth, the maned sloth, the pale-throated sloth, and the pygmy three-toed sloth. In complete contrast to past morphological studies, which tended to place Bradypus as the sister group to all other folivorans, molecular studies place them nested within the sloth superfamily Megatherioidea, making them the only surviving members of that radiation.

Sloth
noun
a. habitual disinclination to exertion; laziness; indolence: Indifference, negligence, and sloth have no place in the classroom. 
b. any of several slow-moving, arboreal, tropical American edentates of the family Bradypodidae, having a long, coarse, grayish-brown coat often of a greenish cast caused by algae, and long, hooklike claws used in gripping tree branches while hanging or moving along in a habitual upside-down position.
c. a pack or group of bears.

Mom Sloth crossing Road with Baby Sloth. Sloth, (order Pilosa), tree-dwelling mammal noted for its slowness of movement. All five living species are limited to the lowland tropical forests of South and Central America, where they can be found high in the forest canopy sunning, resting, or feeding on leaves. All sloths were formerly classified in the same family (Bradypodidae), but two-toed sloths have been found to be so different from three-toed sloths that they are now classified in a separate family. A single young is born after less than six months’ gestation. Newborn sloths cling to the mother’s abdomen and remain with the mother until at least five months of age. Three-toed sloths are so difficult to maintain in captivity that little is known about their breeding behaviour and other aspects of their life history. 🎥TES #sloth #slothlove #slothlife #sloths #slothlover #slothsquad #slothbaby #slothfanworld #slothart #slothfamily #slothlyfe #thearthstories #crossing #roadtrip #road #street #orderpilosa #pilosa #pilosaphotography #order #nature_wizards #naturephotographer #naturephotography #amazing #amazinganimal #exploretheworld #exploreeverything https://www.instagram.com/reel/CR_yuVaHrAr/?utm_medium=tumblr
