I love all animals.  I think Armadillos are really interesting
Thats great! did you knoe that armadillio means 'little armoured one' in Spanish!
I did not know that.  Armadillos look like they have a coat of armour.
Yes, the shell is a leathery amour. There are now only two surviving families the Chlamyphoridae and the Dasypodidae
Do they molt and shed their skin as they grow bigger?
I dont believe so. They do have desert adaptations that allow them to live in sandy dunes and scrubby grass lands
Oh.  You would think the sand would get itchy under their skin. Are they born with the armour?
I'm not sure, they do vary greatly in size from the giant armadillo to the tiny pink fairy armadillo
I have never seen a picture of a pink fairy armadillo.  I will have to look that one up.
You should! They have small eyes, silky yellowisg white fur and a flexible dorsal shell
