"Armadillos are a hodgepodge of different animal parts and behaviors rarely seen together--in short they're oddballs! How did they become the burrowing, swimming, roly-poly, armored creatures we know today? This entertaining and informative picture book explores their behavior, biology, and evolution, pairing modern species like the adorable pink fairy armadillo, the chilling screaming hairy armadillo, and the iconic nine-banded armadillo, with their ancient counterpats, such as the horned armadillo, with its head spikes and chainmail-like skin, and the remarkable glyptodont, which could be as large as a car!"--from dust jacket. 20241029.
