How do armadillos protect themselves from predators?

Armadillos protect themselves using their tough, bony shells. When threatened, species like the three-banded armadillo can roll into a tight ball, covering their vulnerable underside. Other species rely on burrowing quickly to escape danger. Armadillos also use their sharp claws for defence and can jump suddenly to startle predators. Their unique adaptations allow them to survive in various habitats.
