***About the Nine-Banded Armadillo

***: Native to the Americas, particularly the southern United States, the Nine-Banded Armadillo is known for its distinctive armored shell comprised of bony plates. These creatures are predominantly nocturnal and have a diet that includes insects, small vertebrates, and plant matter. Notoriously shy, armadillos have a keen sense of smell which aids them in foraging. Their ability to roll into a tight ball as a defense mechanism against predators is an iconic trait, although this behavior is more typical of other species in the armadillo family.
