A is for Armadillo

I have a fascination of all unusual things and the Armadillo certainly fits into this category. Armadillo is a spanish word which means little armoured one and was known by the Aztecs as the turtle rabbit.

Armadillos have a leathery armour shell and are distant relations of the anteater and sloths (now that's an interesting extended family!)

Did you know that the Nine-banded armadillo has an unsual reproductive system? They have four genetically identical quadruplets in each litter. This is the only mammal which has this capability.
