One thing they do is dig themselves a hole to crawl into.

Charles Darwin recorded an armadillo digging itself into the ground even before he could dismount from his horse to catch it. they also crawl into a ball that is why they have that tough outer shell or hide

They roll into a ball and the armor on its body will help it keep safe.
Armadillos defend themselves by using their shell on their backs to cover them then they can act dead to throw off predators.

First off, they will attempt to outrun the threat and escape to their burrow. If captured, they can roll partially into a ball (depending on species) to protect their soft underside. The can also use their large and sharp claws to fight and protect themselves.
