Schleich Wild Life Armadillo Gordeldier 14874

The armadillo looks unique with its thick dermal shield armor. These scales cover its entire body; only the pointed nose and eyes are exposed. You can see it from that long nose: the armadillo has a very good sense of smell and can even track down insects when they are deep underground. He does not mind the heat. He feels at home in South America and is used to warm days. The armadillo is an unmistakable appearance and lives up to its name. Its thick dermal shield armor runs over its entire body, as if it has several belts around it. It looks cute. Especially when it runs briskly through the desert on those short legs. It has probably tracked down something tasty with its good nose. Its favorite snacks are insects. When it dives into an underground hole to catch them, it can hold its breath for up to six minutes! But after that it has really earned its meal.
