Characterized by their leathery armor that covers the back, head, legs, and tail, these mammals are known for their ability to roll into a ball when threatened —a unique defense mechanism amongst mammals. Armadillos primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates, using their keen sense of smell to locate food. Though often considered solitary, armadillos play a crucial role in their ecosystems as pest controllers and as indicators of ecological health.
