These small animals roam the dry steppes and sandy soil stretching from central Argentina through the Patagonian wilds into Chile. They spend a lot of time digging deep burrows in firm sandy soil to escape the harsh weather or hide from predators.

When it comes to food, they hunt beetles, ants and scorpions but will also snack on roots, seeds, and even occasional lizards or carrion. One of their most unique biological traits is their ability to roll up into a ball for protection.

Pichi, the dwarf armadillo skull replica, lit a candle, had a glass of wine, and promptly fell asleep on the couch. He was planning on watching a movie.

Try, the three-banded armadillo skull replica, lives next door and noticed a faint smell of smoke. He brushed it off as someone had burnt their toast in the toaster.

Band, the six-banded armadillo skull replica, came knocking on Try’s door screaming that Pichi’s house was on fire.

Tochi, the nine-banded armadillo skull replica, had already called the fire department, luckily the only thing that burned was Pichi’s god-awful ugly gold carpet in his living room.
