*** About Armadillos: Armadillos are fascinating creatures native to the Americas, with the nine-banded armadillo being the only species found in the United States. These nocturnal mammals are known for their unique armor-like skin, which is actually made up of overlapping plates covering the back, head, legs, and tail. Primarily insectivorous, armadillos have poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell to locate food. Intriguingly, the armadillo can carry the leprosy bacterium, making them significant in medical research for understanding the transmission and treatment of the disease.
