Description: | Armadillos have scale-like hardened skin on the back and sides of their bodies, and on the tops of their heads. The Hairy Armadilloes also have coarse hairs growing between these scales. They can draw in their legs and tail and flatten themselves against the ground for protection, and some varieties can roll themselves up into an armoured ball. They eat insects and sometimes plants and small vertebrates. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.vertebratezoology.201781 | Go to resource |
