Southern Three-banded Armadillo
Southern Three-banded Armadillo
When threatened, the tree-banded armadillo can roll into a tight ball, but it may leave a small gap. When the predator inserts its nose or paw, the armadillo snaps shut.
It is an excellent swimmer. It swallows air and holds it in its stomach and intestines to make itself buoyant.
