I just love animals.  Armadillos are quite the odd little characters.
They really are, the armor around their body is pretty much their most common identifier. Especially since the word "armadillo" actually means "little armored one" in Spanish.
They are not the cutest little guys, but the armadillos definitely seem suited to their enviornment.
They're kinda cute, even if it is sometimes hard to get a good look at them. Also since every species is from the Americas, they've really adapted to the climate and environment. 
They seem to be very well protected with their armor.
Even though the armor is more leathery than hard, they are still very well protected, yes.
