Armadillo
|
|
|
|
The Armadillo is a very different creature. It has tremendous claws,
|
|
but no fighting instinct. They have teeth, but not in front, except for
|
|
the milk teeth some have during infancy. They have long tongues because
|
|
they catch insects. A strange thing which these animals have is a coat
|
|
armor, unique among other animals. They have bony plate armor on the
|
|
outside of their bodies'. Each species has a different pattern for every
|
|
little plate they carry. They all are great burrowers. They sink a hole
|
|
with them in it as one approaches. It takes a good man to haul even a
|
|
little one back if it is halfway down it's retreat under the ground.
|
|
|
|
They are active, running with a tiptoe trot. Their trot is as an aged
|
|
pony that is tired. They have a varied diet. They hunt by night.
|
|
|
|
Today's Armadillos are not the biggest armadillos that have ever
|
|
existed. The soil of South America is full of larger Armadillo bones from
|
|
the past. Some of the past bones were as much as sixteen feet long
|
|
including the tail. Some even migrated to Texas.
|
|
|
|
There are several species of these animals. The Six-banded Armadillos
|
|
were good burrowers and massive devourers of insects. They also ate
|
|
vegetable matter and were useful for devouring carrion. One specie called
|
|
the Peludo was clumsy bet was effective in getting a snake to its armored
|
|
hide and grinding the life out of it. It then eats the snake not effected
|
|
by the poison. The king of the tribe is the Great Armadillo. It is a big
|
|
creature in appearance, a yard in length from nose to tail covered with the
|
|
armor. It even has armor on its legs. Its claws are very long and awfully
|
|
strong. The Three- banded Armadillos had a further protection. They are
|
|
able to curl up like a hedgehog and present an impenetrable ball to an
|
|
enemy. It is similar than that of a hedgehog or the porcupine, but it is
|
|
more interesting because of the way they fit themselves into their armor.
|
|
Their head and tail pass perfectly through openings in the upper surface of
|
|
the armor. These openings are bony doors.
|
|
|
|
The back of a typical Glyptodon was covered with a solid piece of bony
|
|
armor. The tail looked like a bunch of bony rings. The backbone was solid
|
|
except at the neck. At the neck, there is a joint which allows the head to
|
|
fit under the bony plate. Some members of the family had tails of solid
|
|
bone.
