Armidillos defend themselves because in the habitat that they live on, they are prey to many animals within the same habitat. For instance, one of the armidillo's predaters is a panther. Living in South America (just like the armadillo), you would think the panther would have a nice meal quickly against the little armadillo. Yet, the armadillo has its shell for protection, so the panther can't get at his soft underbelly.
