The armadillo was discovered and
named by the Spanish who gave it this
name because of the armory shell
which envelopes ita body. Tbis armor,
which is very hard and tough, is so con
structed that tbe armadillo can roll
itself into a ball with only the armored
parts outward. The tall is covered
itb from ten to fifteen rings which
gradually turn into scales as thoy near
tbe end. Around tbe center of tho
body are rings of armor with a thin
skin between so that they can either
be contracted or expanded. The only
hair on the body is on its chin where
there is a kind of beard.
The armadillo that was brought to
school was two feet long and when
alive probably weighed about fifteen
pounds. Tbls animal came from South
America.
Some armadillos live In graveyards
ana ieeo on decayed bodies. Their
teeth are all molars and so loosely fitted
in the jaw that tbey can eat only those
things that require little chewing.
The armadillo is verv fond of inu
and when wanting any he will lie
down with his tongue out, and the ants,
coming along crawl ' upon it and are
neia iasi oy a sticky substance upon it.
When a sufficient Quantity has bent,
obtained the animal draws in his tongue

less but when attacked can use his
claws wltb dangerous effect,
One day a man in Brazil came upon
an armadillo on a high bill that Bloped
aown to tne river. The animal Im
mediately rolled up Into a ball, and
tbe man wishing to learn If It could
swim, Btarted it rolling toward the
river. When it came to the river it
rolled In. The armadillo then unrolled
and swam to the opposite bank.
