| Answers |
| 1. |
True
The armadillo will dig into a burrow, run into thick brush, swim
away from predators and, if all else fails, has been known
to curl into a tight ball for defense. |
| 2. |
True
Female armadillos are unique in where they give birth to four identical
babies, all of the same sex. |
| 3. |
True
Probably due to the plates that cover most of the armadillo’s
upper parts and protect its body. This protection is likely more
effective against thorns, cactus spines, and brush that the armadillo
encounters than it is against predators. |
| 4. |
True
An armadillo’s teeth are continuously worn down. |
| 5. |
True
Armadillos jump to just about bumper height which accounts for
our seeing so many of them along the roadways. |
