THE ARMADILLO

The Armadillo has the armor formed by plates of dermal bone covered in relatively small, overlapping epidermal scales called “Scutes”, composed of bone with a covering of horn. Most species have rigid shields over the shoulders and hips, with a number of bands separated by flexible skin covering the back and flanks. Additional armor covers the top of the head, the upper parts of the limbs, and the tail. The underside of the animal is never armored, and is simply covered with soft skin and fur.
