Armadillos are born covered by a soft skin that gradually begins to harden into a shell as they grow up. When these creatures are born, they are well developed and have open eyes and are able to walk within just a few hours.
The main trait of armadillos are their bony shells made up of hard bony plates. These plates form protective rigid shields over their hips and shoulders and are joined by a number of flexible bands in the middle part of the body. They use these shells in defense to protect themselves against their prey.
