Armadillo's are the coolest little guys. They are New World placental mammals that have a hard leathery armour shell.
That's cool, I've never seen one in person before.
They're kinda cute! The word "armadillo" actually means "little armoured one" in espanol.
That's a pretty cute name haha.
there are also about 9 extant genera and 21 extant species of armadillos. They are distinguished by the number of bands on their armour.
That's the only difference? Weird.
The six-banded armadillo is found in South America and is also called the yellow armadillo.
Is it actually yellow or what?
I'm not sure, but it is an insectivore, which means it only eats insects.
Interesting, it seems more like a carnivore.
