I recently saw an armadillo scurrying around outside my house. 
Those critters are interesting to watch! The word armadillo means "little armoured one" in Spanis
That is a really cute meaning for the name, and totally makes sense. Do you know what they eat? I'm hoping it'll stick around!
I am not sure I bet it depends upon their environment. All species are native to the Americas
Where are they the most prominent? It was my first time seeing one here.
They are definitely cute. There are similar names of animals that are also found in Europe
Oh really? What are the animals in Europe that are similar?
Genetic research suggests that another extinct group of armoured mammals, the glyptodonts, should be included with the lineage of armadillos
Wow that's an interesting name. Are there any other animals like the armadillo?
I am not sure. I live in Texas and I always have Armadillos come in my yard. They love to dig big holes in the yard! So just watch out for them.
