I have never seen an armadillo in real life, but on television they fascinate me.  I wish I knew more about them.
I can tell you more, armadillo's are the new world mammals, they have a leathery armour shell on them.
So it's leathery and not like a sea shell?  So that's more like mammal skin, but without the hair.
Exactly!  Another fact is the word armadillo means little armoured one 
Perfect name, then!  Do armadillos make good pets?
Not much information on that , but i did find that there are a total of 21 species of armadillo's . 
Wow, so they could be quite different from each other.  They must need a hot climate.  There are none in Tennessee.
Yeah they would need a warmer climate, i also found the portugueses word for armadillo is tatu .
