Bony-plated creature (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armadillo

(Other definitions for armadillo that I've seen before include "Nocturnal creature" , "animal on the loose!" , "Toothless Native American" , "Dollar, ami for S American animal with bony plates" , "Insectivorous mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
