The more you know...

Armadillos are an amazing group of animals that originated in South America. Armadillos are mammals, just like you. Contrary to what you may have heard, the armadillo is neither a rodent nor a marsupial, and they are not related to the opossum any more than you are. There are twenty different species of armadillos. They belong to the order Cingulata, family Dasypodidae. Their closest living relatives are sloths and anteaters. The most easily recognized feature of an armadillo is its shell. All armadillos have shells, made of true bone, that cover their backs. Most armadillos also have bony rings or plates that protect their tails. Because their backs are covered with bone, armadillos are not very flexible. Although one species - the three-banded armadillo - can roll itself into a ball, none of the others can do so. They rely on speed or their digging ability to escape danger.

And they can't out run a .45 :)

Granted said diller did not outrun said .45 but you oughta see what happens when a diller can't outrun a .308 ballistic tip.:ooh2:. Let's just say that you do not have to pick up any pieces or worry about burying said diller.:violin:
