Question

armadillos unseen passage of class 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

Barrel-shaped animals covered with natural armor are called armadillos, which in Spanish, means 'little-armored one'. The armor of the various sized animals works well against most predators, but many of them are often hit by vehicles as they try to cross a road.

In all, there are 21 species of armadillo including the nine-banded, seven-banded, greater fairy, screaming hairy, pink fairy, six-banded, northern naked-tailed, Giant, Brazilian three-banded, and several others. The smallest is the pink fairy, which is only about 6 inches long, and the Giant armadillo is the largest, which can grow to about 5 feet long.

Its armor is made up of overlapping plates which cover their back, head, legs, and tail. The number of armored bands is often used to identify the different species. One species, the three-banded armadillo, can roll itself into a tough armored ball protecting itself against predators. Others may dig a hole quickly and hide so their soft and tender stomach is protected. In this case, only their armor is visible to a predator.
