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.
Armadillos are prolific diggers and use their sharp claws for digging dens for food such as grubs. They will cause the homeowner problems by digging or burrowing in the lawn or garden to find the grubs.
