*** About Armadillos: Armadillos are fascinating creatures native primarily to the Americas, particularly known for their distinctive armor-like shell. The nine-banded armadillo is the species most common in Texas and is recognized for its unique ability to roll completely into a ball when threatened. Armadillos are predominantly insectivores, digging with their strong claws to uncover ants, beetles, and other invertebrates. The armadillo's armored shell is made up of overlapping plates covering the back, head, legs, and tail, providing crucial protection from predators. Their gestation involves a rare process called embryonic diapause, which allows the mother to delay the birth of her offspring until conditions are favorable. This artwork celebrates the armadillo, not only as a survivor and an adaptable species but also as a symbol of the Texan landscape.
