There is one species which is the nine - banded armadillo that is primarily found in the southern central states, like Texas. Armadillos are prolific diggers with sharp claws. Armadillos have the body temperature of 34 degrees Celsius or 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Did you know that armadillos have poor vision but large eyes? This is really weird because of the fact that one would think large eyes would give a better image as opposed to a poor one. This animal is endangered and therefore needs to be protected.
