Have you ever seen an armadillo in real life? I saw one in a zoo last year- they are a new world mammal, but with a tough armoured shell. 
I've seen them in pictures, and they're adorable. Unfortunately I haven't seen one in person.
There are about 21 species, and they can be distinguished by the bands on their armour. I saw one in a zoo once!
Thats very interesting. What do they eat?
Well, that's a good question! I'm not sure, but I know there are a variety of sizes, from giant to the tiny pink fairy species. 
Never knew that before, how big does the giant one get?
The giant armadillos get huge, but the Pink Fairy variety are covered in silky yellowish fur. Cute!
