I saw some armadillos the other day. After studying them I realized that they are mammals. They also have a leathery armor shell.

There is a Giant armadillo.  They are in South America and can weigh almost 120 pounds in the wild.
I also learned that the Aztecs had a name for them which translated to "turtle-rabbit" I thought that was pretty accurate.
Ha!  That is a pretty good description.  The shells are used to make the  Charango instrument.  It is similar to a guitar or banjo in looks
Armadillo
Armadillos (from Spanish "little armoured one") are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata. The Chlamyphoridae and Dasypodidae are the only surviving families in the order, which is part of the superorder Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths. Nine extinct genera and 21 extant species of armadillo have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armour. All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of different environments.
