*** About Nine-Banded Armadillo: Native to North and South America, the Nine-Banded Armadillo is a fascinating creature known for its unique armor-like shell. This nocturnal mammal is predominantly a solitary animal and has a diet that includes insects, grubs, and other small invertebrates. Remarkable for their ability to swim and hold their breath for up to six minutes, these armadillos often cross streams and ponds by inflating their intestines to float on water. Their leathery armor is made up of overlapping plates covering the back, head, legs, and tail, which protects them from thorny underbrush and the attacks of predators.
