Armadillos have a tough, protective shell, but if it gets cracked or damaged, their ability to heal depends on the severity of the injury. Minor cracks may heal over time, as their skin can regenerate to some extent, but severe damage can lead to complications or vulnerability to infections. In most cases, significant shell injuries can be detrimental to their survival. Therefore, while some healing is possible, it is not guaranteed for serious cracks.
