Schleich Wild Life Armadillo 14874

The armadillo looks unique with its thick skin and shell armor. These scales cover its entire body; only its pointed nose and eyes are exposed. You can tell by its long nose: the armadillo has an excellent sense of smell and can even track insects when they are deep underground. Heat is not a problem for it. It feels at home in South America and is used to warm days. The armadillo is an unmistakable sight and lives up to its name. Its thick skin and shell armor covers its entire body, as if it has multiple belts on. It looks cute. Especially when it runs briskly through the desert on those short legs. It has probably sniffed out something tasty with its good nose. Its favorite snacks are insects. When it dives into an underground burrow to catch them, it can hold its breath for up to six minutes! But after that, it truly has earned its meal.
