*** About Nine-Banded Armadillo: The Nine-Banded Armadillo is a resilient and unique mammal predominantly found in the Americas, particularly thriving in Texas. Recognizable by its leathery armor, this nocturnal creature feasts primarily on insects and small invertebrates. An interesting fact about armadillos is their ability to swim, which they accomplish by inflating their stomachs to increase buoyancy. This skill, combined with their ability to hold their breath for up to six minutes, highlights their adaptability, even in challenging environments. Because of their armored shell, armadillos have few natural predators, which aids in their survival amid expanding human populations and changing landscapes.
