These mammals are primarily nocturnal and are known for their ability to swim and their unique method of foraging for insects and other small invertebrates. Armadillos have a fascinating reproductive system involving delayed implantation, which allows them control over the timing of birth. These creatures, often seen as quirky and unusual, play significant roles in their ecosystems by controlling insect populations and influencing soil composition.
