Armadillos (Scientific Name: Dasypodidae) “Armadillos (meaning “little armored ones” in Spanish) are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata. They form part of the superorder Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths. 21 extant species of armadillo have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armor. All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of different environments. Living armadillos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws for digging. They have short legs, but can move quite quickly.” - Wikipedia Read more about the mammal at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo
