Fun Armadillo Facts
- The armadillo is the state small mammal of Texas.
- Armadillo comes from the Spanish, meaning “little armored one.”
- Armadillos are one of the few animals who consume fire ants as part of their diet. Such an ability can make armadillos very beneficial to humans.
- Besides being excellent diggers, armadillos are also good swimmers. Armadillos can hold their breath for up to 6 minutes.
- Armadillos have poor eyesight and so can be easily startled while foraging.
- If they can’t dig under it, armadillos will climb over it and are quite capable of scaling fences and trees.
Because of these facts, I want an armadillo. I will name it Nation, after my half-blood armadillo.
I WANT ONE, DAMNIT.
