Armadillos are the only mammals with a protective bony shell covering their body. While they may appear awkward, armadillos can move quickly and dig underground dens. The Nine-banded Armadillo has poor vision but comes out at night to hunt for insects and invertebrates in forests and lowlands with moist soil or sandy areas stretching from parts of the southern United States to Florida.

1. My Project
Armadillos, or "armored ones" in Spanish, are the only mammals with a
protective shell. It is made of heavy bony plates that cover its body. Armadillos
might appear awkward or slow but they can move and dig quickly and even
swim. The Nine-banded Armadillo builds a nest in an underground den and it
comes hunting insects and other invertebrates at night. His vision is poor. It
lives in Forests and lowlands, with moist soil and rotting wood where live insects
and other invertebrates live. They also live in areas with sandy soil. They live in
countries as Texas, Oklahoma, and southeastern Kansas to southern Georgia
and most of Florida.
