*** About Nine-Banded Armadillos: Nine-banded armadillos are small to medium-sized mammals known for their distinctive armor-like shell. These creatures are predominantly found in North, Central, and South America, particularly thriving in environments like Texas. As nocturnal animals, armadillos typically forage for food such as insects and small vertebrates at night. Their hard, protective shells make them unique among other mammals, serving as defense mechanisms against predators. This species is also fascinating due to its ability to swim well, which they accomplish by inflating their intestines to increase buoyancy or by simply walking along the riverbed.
