Wonderfully made...the armadillo | Helder, M. 1991.
CEN 13(4):32-34. CELD ID 11751Abstract Should you venture into the south-eastern United States, or almost anywhere south of there into South America, you might be treated to the sight of an armadillo. People tend to regard these animals as amusing spectacles. They say these creatures have eyes like a pig, the tail of a rat, ears like a mule, and armoured scales which look something like an alligator but which are really horny shields. These are scarcely flattering terms, but one has to admit there is an element of truth to them.
