Armadillos are small mammals from the family Dasypodidae, closely related to the sloth and the anteater. They are found mostly in South American and select parts of the central United States. There are over 20 different sup-species of armadillos, all of which are endangered due to human expansion into their territory and over hunting, except for the Nine-banded Armadillo.
