DO NOT SHOOT ARMADILLOS

Armadillos are hardy brownish animals with strong curved claws and simple peglike teeth lacking enamel. Armadillos 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. This animals are said to posses a very tough and hard shell. Armadillos are the only living mammals that wear such hard shells on their body.

People often say they are covered with natural armour. Lesson from a man who attempted shooting Armadillos: One poor Texan man learned this the hard way when he shot at an armadillo only to have the bullet ricochet (spring back) off the indestructible beast and back at him into his jaw!. The man was airlifted to hospital. Amazingly, the armadillo just walked off unscathed (unscratched).

The point is An Armadillo is able to reflect your bullet when shot. Hence, there is no point shooting at the animal.***prbxselfnetwork***
