An Armadillo Crossing a Rocky Mountain Path

The animal steps across a rough trail scattered with small stones. Bands divide the protective shell along its back, while a pointed head, short legs, strong claws, and a long armored tail complete its profile. Tufts of grass and numerous rocks line the route, and mountain shapes rise farther behind the walking armadillo.

Armadillo Facts

An armadillo's armor is formed from bony plates covered by tough skin, and the flexible bands help its body bend as it walks. Strong claws allow the animal to dig through soil for insects and to create burrows where it can rest away from heat or danger.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Can every armadillo roll into a complete ball?
No. Only certain species can close their armor tightly enough to form a full ball. Most armadillos depend on digging, hiding, or running when threatened.
What does an armadillo search for on the ground?
It often uses its keen sense of smell to locate insects, grubs, and other small food beneath soil or leaf litter.
Why do armadillos dig burrows?
Burrows provide shelter from predators and extreme temperatures. They also offer a protected place for resting.
