I believe the answer is:

armadillo

(Other definitions for armadillo that I've seen before include "Toothless Native American" , "9ed [SHELLED] beast" , "Nocturnal animal" , "Dollar, ami for S American animal with bony plates" , "one of the Animals makes appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
