Flickr group: pic of the day – armadillo Jun 3 2008
Armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus) are small mammals with distinctive bony shells covering most of their bodies. According to the World Conservation Union, they are native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname and Uruguay.
Armadillos are close relatives of anteaters and sloths, and their diet consists of insects, worms, spiders, plant matter and fruit.
