The bony plates on an Armadillo are it's main source of defense against predators. The skin between the plates allow the Armadillo to curl itself into a ball to deter predators. Not all Armadillos are able to curl up into balls however. Not all of the 20 species can curl up in a ball. The species in the U.S. curls, but can't make it all the way into a ball.
