Armadillos are New World placental mammals with a leathery armour shell. Dasypodidae is the only surviving family in the order Cingulata, part of the superorder Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths. The word armadillo means "little armoured one" in Spanish. The Aztecs called them āyōtōchtli [aːjoːˈtoːt͡ʃt͡ɬi], Nahuatl for "turtle-rabbit": āyōtl [ˈaːjoːt͡ɬ] (turtle) and tōchtli [ˈtoːt͡ʃt͡ɬi] (rabbit).
About 10 extant genera and 20 extant species of armadillo have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armour. Their average length is about 75 cm (30 in), including tail. The giant armadillo grows up to 150 cm (59 in) and weighs up to 54 kg (119 lb), while the pink fairy armadillo is a diminutive species, with an overall length of 13–15 cm (5–6 in). All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of environments.
Like all of the Xenarthra lineages, armadillos originated in South America. Due to the continent's former isolation, they were confined there for most of the Cenozoic. The recent formation of the Isthmus of Panama allowed a few members of the family to migrate northward into southern North America by the early Pleistocene, as part of the Great American Interchange. (Some of their much larger cingulate relatives, the pampatheres and glyptodonts, made the same journey.)

The Brazilian three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes tricinctus) is an armadillo species endemic to Brazil, where it is known as tatu-bola It is one of only two species of armadillo (the other is the southern three-banded armadillo) that can roll into a ball. The Brazilian three-banded armadillo lives primarily in open savannahs (Cerrado) and dry woodlands (Caatinga), where low rainfall and poor soil limit the vegetation to tall, woody grasses, scattered bushes, and gnarled trees. There is an abundance of cactus-like plants in the northern reaches of its range. Threats The defense system of the Brazilian three-banded armadillo makes it safe from the majority of predators. Adult pumas and jaguars are the only South American mammals powerful enough to be a natural threat. The real danger to arm...
This little guy has made a backyard his home for the past 3 days. Now named Dilly, his mother is no where to be seen. Dilly is usually left to himself so that he doesn't become too dependent, but user 'TYarber37' makes sure he always has plenty of water and leads him to bugs. He looks for her now when he hears her voice. Source & embed code: https://rumble.com/v2zkug-orphaned-baby-armadillo-dilly.html For licensing, please email licensing@rumble.com

►►► Watch It Now!: https://www.andrewucles.com/north-america-the-wild-meets-the-weird/ The armadillo was definitely the most interesting animal I had encountered in North America. There design is ancient looking almost as if a mammal had been crossed with a reptile. More commonly seen on the side of highways and in front lawns, armadillos often will take refuge under houses, sheds and decks and have found a perfect niche for there survival in suburbia. Having visited some rural towns throughout Mexico, the Armadillo will often end up on the dinner plate and is regarded as a staple bush meat in some locations.

See how an ant-eating Pangolin defended itself from the lions in the Gir forest of India. The rare, armour plated pangolin had the perfect defence tactic : roll up into a ball and stay there - whatever happens. The hapless lion appeared confused by its spherical prey, as it batted the creature about with its paws and even tried to carry it around in its mouth. When caught by large predators such as lions they work their muscles into a cutting action to lacerate the mouths of their adversaries. The injuries caused can be serious for the animal attempting to eat the pangolin. Pangolins survive by using their sensitive tongues, which can grow up to 16 inches long, to probe ant nests and termite mounds to eat the insects inside.

un armadillo de madrugada
que me escuchaba llorar
de tan curioso que me miraba
que hasta me puse a pensar
si mi corazón pudiera tener
un caparazón con su misma piel
yo quisiera ser un armadillo
si volviera a nacer
si mi corazón pudiera tener
un caparazón con su misma piel
yo quisiera ser un armadillo
si volviera a nacer
yo quisiera ser un armadillo
