Hi! I like animals, but armadillos creep me out
Armadillo means "little armoured one" in spanish.  Not that the armor helps them against being hit by cars, which is very frequent around here
That's interesting. Do you know what their armor does protect against?
Mostly their armour most likely protects against bug bites, snake bites, and wasp stings.
That makes sense. They kind of look like anteaters with armor on. I think that their primary diet is insects
I suppose that is why their leathery armor shell protects against insect bites.  Any insect that tries becomes a free meal
