IN STRESSFUL CASES , THE FEMALE CAN MANAGE HER OWN PREGNANCY . IT CAN SUSPEND ITS DEVELOPMENT FOR UP TO SEVERAL YEARS . ARMADILLOS ARE MAMMALS , BUT THEY , LIKE NO OTHER MAMMAL , LAY EGGS , FROM WHICH THEY ALWAYS PRODUCE SAME - SEX BABIES . UP TO 4 YOUNG CAN EMERGE FROM THE EGG .

A FEMALE ARMADILLO CAN GIVE BIRTH TO UP TO 12 CUBS AT A TIME , WHICH ARE ALREADY SEEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER BIRTH . THE NEWLY BORN ARMADILLO CRUMBS ARE COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS , THEY ARE COMPLETELY WITHOUT A SHELL , AND THEIR BODY IS COVERED ONLY WITH THIN AND SOFT SKIN .

CAN ARMADILLOS SWIM ?

SWIMMING IS

NOT AVAILABLE FOR ARMADILLOS . BUT , IF THEY NEED TO OVERCOME A SMALL BODY OF WATER , THEY CAN CROSS IT ON THE BOTTOM , UNDER WATER . BY THE WAY , DURING THE TRANSITION , THEY MAY NOT BREATHE ( ABOUT 5 - 6 MINUTES ).

RELATIONSHIP WITH A PERSON

ARMADILLOS ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT AFRAID OF HUMANS . THEREFORE , PEOPLE OFTEN FIND THESE THIEVES

IN ANIMAL HABITATS , IN STOREROOMS OR CELLARS .

THE BODY TEMPERATURE OF A BATTLESHIP

ARMADILLOS ARE WARM - BLOODED ANIMALS , BUT THEIR BODY TEMPERATURE IS NO MORE THAN 32 OC . IT

CAN VARY IN THE DIRECTION OF INCREASE ( DECREASE ) AT ANY TIME . AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS A THIN SHELL AND A SMALL FAT LAYER .

BUT THE THREAT OF THEIR DISAPPEARANCE CREATES CONDITIONS TO CONSIDER THEM MORE VALUABLE ANIMALS . WE MUST BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER OF ARMADILLOS WILL BE RECREATED , AND

THEIR EXTINCTION WILL BE REDUCED .
