General Armadillo Facts

Armadillos are known for their unique armored shell. When threatened, an armadillo will jump straight up in the air or it may also fall on it's side and curl up in a ball.

 

 

 

 

 

Geography

 

They are found mostly in the Central and South America. The nine-banded armadillo is is the only species found in North America.

 

Since armadillos can't tolerate the cold weather or frost, they make their home in Texas and the gulf coast states. In the summer, they are nocturnal to protect themselves from the extreme heat. In the winter, they come out in the day to take advantage of the warmth of the sun.
