They may be goofy looking, but I love armadillos. The name means "little armoured one" in Spanish!
That's so cute! I didn't know that. I love them too. I'm in Texas so we have a lot here.
Ah! I'm in Texas too! Well you love this fact -- the Aztec word for armadillos translates to "turtle rabbit"! 
That's even cuter! Haha word origins fascinate me. Have you ever touched an armadillo?
Yes! It was surprising to me how supple the "shell" is. I don't know if that goes for all types -- I know there are different types. A giant armadillo that can be 45 - 70 pounds and "pink fairy" armadillos that can fit in the palm of your hand!
THAT HUGE? Wow I can't imagine seeing one that massive. The pink fairy armadillo I'd love to hold in my hand and cuddle. Bet it would make a good pet.
I've only seen pictures of the pink fairy type. They're native to central Argentina. We'll have to plan a visit, in search of a pet ;-)
I would like to go there and pick one up too. Do you know their diet?
Good question -- I don't. But they tend to inhabit sandy plains, dunes, and scrubby grasslands .... so bugs? Lizards? I'm not sure!
That would be sad, because I have crested geckos as pets! I bet they wouldn't get along very well.
