Armiadillo happens to mean little armoured one in spanish.
I never knew where the name came from, that is interesting.  What do armadillos eat?
In portugese armadillo is known as a tatu which comes form the tupi language,
Hmm.  I have seen armadillos in the southern United States.  Are they found all over the world?  What do they eat?
There are also similair names in other languages and culture especially in European languages.
I mainly see armadillos dead on the side of the road.  Are they nocturnal and move at night?  Are they found all over the world? What do they eat?
yes. I have seen them before hit on the road. Armadillos are native to the americas where they inhabit a variety of different environments.
Now i see.  They must move slowly because they can't dodge the cars like a squirrel.  Do you like squirrels?
