Schleich: Armadillo

The Armadillo is unmistakable and certainly has a verydescriptive name.

Its thick scaly armor is composed of several belts that run around its entirebody. It looks kinda cute. Especially when it runs nimbly across the desert onits short legs. It has probably tracked down a tasty morsel with its sensitivenose. Most of all it loves to eat insects. When it's digging them out of theirunderground hiding places, the armadillo can hold its breath for up to sixminutes! After that, we have to admit, it has really earned its meal.

The Armadillo really is unique with its thick scaly carapace. It covers thewhole body, leaving only the pointed nose and eyes exposed. The long nose givesit away: the Armadillo has a keen sense of smell to sniff out insects even whenthey are buried deep in the ground. It doesn't mind the heat. After all, it isat home in South America and used to hot days.
