Some species of armadillos, such as the three-banded armadillo, protect themselves by rolling up tightly into a ball, which presents only their armour to a woud-be predator. Others dig quickly, vanishing rapidly into a hole in the ground.
After armadillos dig into the ground, they are able to expand the bony shell which encases their body, and wedge themselves firmly into the burrow so that they cannot be dislodged.
Armadillos are faster runners than one would expect. When cornered by a predator, they may use their claws to defend themselves.
