*** About Armadillos: Among the more unique species native to the Americas, armadillos are particularly known for their bony, armored shells, which protect them from predators. This natural armor consists of overlapping plates covering the back, head, legs, and tail. Primarily nocturnal, these creatures use their sharp claws for digging and are capable of consuming large amounts of insects and larvae within their diet. The nine-banded armadillo, a common species in Texas, has the unusual ability to cross bodies of water by inflating its stomach and intestines to increase buoyancy, sometimes preferring to simply walk along the bottom in shallow streams.
