There are many animals that do indeed have a hard shell, but it depends upon your definition of a shell.
In the group of animals called arthropods some possess an exoskeleton (the skeleton on the outside of their body as sort of a protective shell) which would include grasshoppers and cockroaches. Crabs, shrimp, crayfish, and lobsters, are also arthropods and their hard shells are also an exoskeletons.
In the group termed mollusks we also see animals with true hard shells, included in this category are snails, clams, scallops, oysters, tusk shells, chitons, nautilus, to name a few.
Shelled animals everyone is familiar with is in the reptiles and that is the turtles and tortoises.
As far as mammals the only animals which would have what some consider a protective shell (or armor) would be an armadillo.
