Armadillo in green leaves & silver Les Modes A tassel topped by aArmadillos are naturally awesome, so they are pretty hard to improve on. They are descended from the Glyptodon, a prehistoric mammal that could grow to the size and shape of a Volkswagen Beetle. They have armour. The three banded armadillo can roll up into a ball when threatened. What makes my armadillos better than other armadillos? Its the rhinestones. My armadillos have rhinestone scales. Based on a 1774 illustration of Dasypus tricinctus
