For protection
armadillos are from tropical america and are covered with bony plates
An armadillo.
The body covering of an armadillo consists of a tough, leathery skin embedded with bony plates called osteoderms. These plates form a protective armor that shields the armadillo from predators and environmental hazards. The outer layer of skin is often covered with coarse hair, and their flexible shell allows for some movement while providing defense. This unique body covering is a key adaptation that helps armadillos survive in their habitats.
Both Ankylosaurus and Armadillo are covered in armor. Because of their armor, armadillos have few predators, and Ankylosaurus had none.

Yes, armadillos have armor consisting of bony plates. The armor is formed by plates of dermal bone covered in relatively small, overlapping epidermal scales called "scutes", composed of bone with a covering of horn. Most species have rigid shields over the shoulders and hips, with a number of bands separated by flexible skin covering the back and flanks. Additional armor covers the top of the head, the upper parts of the limbs, and the tail. The underside of the animal is never armored, and is simply covered with soft skin and fur.
Will an armadillos body can protect its self because there skin is made up of some really good hard protecting chemicals and that is the answer for you!!
There are 2 mammals with scales and the armadillo is one of them. "The armor is formed by plates of dermal bone covered in relatively small, overlapping epidermal scales called "scutes", composed of bone with a covering of horn." The other one is called a Pangolin.
Colorado is much too cold in the winter for armadillos as they are unable to hibernate and have little body protection for cold weather.
The hard, bony plates on an armadillo's back are called "scutes." These scutes are covered by a layer of keratin, forming a tough armor that protects the animal from predators. The scutes are part of the armadillo's unique protective adaptations, allowing it to curl into a ball when threatened.
A pack of Armadillos. ARMADILLOS ROCK! A pack of Armadillos. ARMADILLOS ROCK! I have to agree with the "armadillos rock" but armadillos have no "group name" they're just called "a bunch" or a "pack" ARMADILLOS ARE THE BEST YOUR RIGHT I LOVE ARMADILLOS. And armadillos live in packs.
