Giant armadillos are found in South America, east of the Andes, from northwestern Venezuela to northeastern Argentina.

No, only plants are producers. Armadillos feed on insects, grubs, earthworms, snails, slugs, etc. and are secondary consumers.

There are 20 different varieties of armadillos in the world today. Some species are endangered and threatened. Because of their elusive nature, it is difficult to say exactly how many are in the world today. What is known is that the nine-band species is the only one thriving.

Pink fairy armadillos feed on worms, snails, insects and larvae, or various plant and root materials.

Giant armadillos live throughout the Amazon basin of South America. To view a range map, click on this link.

Giant Armadillos should be protected because they are one of the oldest species of mammal on earth and and they have been part of people lives for an extremely long time and we don't want to lose that.

Armadillos are members of the order Cingulata, which is part of the suborder, Xenarthra. Other orders apart of the Xenarthrans are Pilosa and Vermilingua. Animals that belong to the order Pilosa are the Three and Two toed Sloth. Animals that belong to the order Vermilingua are Anteaters.

Armadillos also fall under the subclass Theria, which includes Marsupials, so they are also related to Kangaroos and Opossum. The subclass Theria falls under the class Mammalia, which included every variety of mammal on the earth from naked mole rats to whales. So armadillos are even indirectly related to us humans.

Armadillos are native to the Americas, particularly Central and South America. They are concentrated most heavily around Paraguay. there are around twenty species of armadillo, and different species range as far north as the southern US (where they are also beginning to populate further north).

Yes, some people do keep armadillos as pets even though it is against the law in most parts of the United States. If you can manage to keep a baby armadillo alive long enough to live into adulthood, (they tend to die suddenly for no apparent reason) they are generally mellow creatures and are not aggressive unless they feel threatened, in which case they will defend themselves with their claws. If you plan to keep your armadillo indoors and are a light sleeper, having an armadillo may not be ideal because they forage for food at night and will knock over furniture and bumb into things and wake you up while you are trying to get your beauty sleep.

Armadillos are nocturnal and burrow for their food, so if you are a landscape fanatic and care about your yard or garden, owning an armadillo may not be for you. Armadillos also have a musky scent to them that some people don't mind, but others can't stand. Once in captivity, an armadillo will slowly become more and more active during the day as it begins to feel comfortable in its environment. Armidillos have been known to get along well with dogs and usually just mind their own business. They eat things like worms, grubs, ants and other insects. You can buy these things at your local pet store.

Armadillos need a climate that is warm but not too hot. They respond very poorly to climates that are cold and will die if they are kept outdoors.

The only risk of owning an armadillo is that they sometimes carry diseases like rabies and leprosy and usually have fleas. Understandably, this can be a dealbreaker for most potential owners but is not a completely unsolvable issue.

Personally, I think owning an armadillo would be freakin awesome and not too challenging if you are dedicated to taking good care of it. If you only want an armidillo because it would be a cool thing to tell your friends or coworkers, please just let them be because they need as much care and attention as any other pet.

First of all, only 27.89 armadillos live in captivity today. The Number is not quite sure because of their unsteady population. Anyhow, they are furry because their mucus glads underneath their hind legs produce enough egg plant juice to make 897536 eggplant milk shakes, which is also the 7th favorite egg snack of the Federal Supreme Court of Peace, Justice, and a Better Lamp Shade of America. The eggplant juice is commonly known for hair growing, especially in Central Pakistan, so the armadillo therefore grows hair all over its body, but mostly underneath its hind legs. Ask any anthropologist and they will agree that the usage of the egg plant juice definitely corresponds with the beastly hair of the rare, but ferocious armadillo.

Yes, they also die in Alabama. They are roadkill alot of the time.

The current (as of approximately 2009-2010) range (shaded red), and predicted future range (shaded pink) of the nine-banded armadillo in the USA

The Nine-Banded Armadillo has been rapidly expanding its range both north and east within the United States. The armadillo crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico in the late 1800's and introduced in Florida at about the same time by humans. By 1995 the species had become well-established in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and had been sighted as far afield as Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. A decade later, the armadillo had become established in all of those areas and continued its migration, being sighted as far north as southern Nebraska, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana.[4] The primary cause of this rapid expansion is explained simply by the existence of few or no natural predators of the armadillo within the United States, little desire on the part of Americans to hunt or eat the armadillo, and the animal's high reproductive rate. It is speculated that the northern expansion of the armadillo will continue until the species reaches as far north as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey and all points southward on the East Coast of the United States. Further northward and westward expansion will probably be limited by the armadillo's poor tolerance of harsh winters, due to its lack of insulating fat and its inability to hibernate.[5] As of 2009, newspaper reports indicate that the Nine-Banded Armadillo seems to have expanded its range northward as far as Lincoln, Nebraska in the west, and Nashville, Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee and the Land Between the Lakes region as far north as Kentucky Dam and Evansville, Indiana in the east. [6][7][8][9][10]. In late 2009, the state of North Carolina began considering the establishment of a hunting season for armadillo, following reports that the species has been moving into the southern reaches of the state (roughly between the areas of Charlotte, North Carolina amd Wilmington, North Carolina).[11][12] Outside the United States, the nine-banded armadillo ranges southward through Central and South America into northern Argentina and Uruguay, where it is still expanding its range.[13]

armadillos are actually the second most lazy animals in the world. First comes sloths, which sleep for 23 hours in a day, armadillos sleep for 22 hours a day followed by the oppossum which sleeps for 21 hours a day. Also kolas sleep for 22 hours of the day.

Unless the deer is dead and badly mangled with flesh exposed, an armadillo would not eat it. They primarily eat insects, earthworms, grubs, bird eggs, tubers, etc. They will also eat some carrion if they run across it.

The word 'armadillo' is Spanish for "little armored one". It is the name given to small placental mammals, known for having a bony armored shell. They exist in North and South America they are related to Sloths and Anteaters.
armadillo is a mammal but in spanish it means "little armoured one"

Armadillos are actually eaten in Latin America. To avoid grossing people out, they are sometimes called turkeys. They were also eaten during the Great Depression in the U.S. Their skin is used for purses, belts and other purposes, and, oddly, they are one of the only animals that can transmit leprosy -- so they are used in science labs to experiments.

Yes ants live in large groups they are called colonies

Armadillos have weird noses because their other senses, such as eyesight are very poor. Therefore they rely on and utilize their strong sense of smell to hunt.

Some armadillos can get up to 5 foot long but the longest living is 6 ft 7 in 41/2cm

Yes, armadillos are placental mammals.

Armadillos neither hibernate nor do they migrate. However, the nine-banded armadillo is rapidly spreading it range to areas in the United States that previously had no armadillos.

No. Armadillos give birth to live young. They do not lay eggs.
