  • 2. 

    Armadillos are called "nine-banded" because they have 8 to 10 flexible joints on their shell.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Armadillos are called "nine-banded" because they have 8 to 10 flexible joints on their shell. This means that their shell is divided into 9 separate bands or sections, allowing them to move and bend more easily. This characteristic is unique to armadillos and is the reason behind their nickname. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Why do armadillos get run over on roadways?

    • Armadillos are too slow to get out of the way in time.

    • Armadillos have delayed reactions.

    • Armadillos can't see or hear the vehicle coming.

    Correct Answer
    A. Armadillos can't see or hear the vehicle coming.
    Explanation
    Armadillos have poor eyesight and hearing, which makes it difficult for them to detect oncoming vehicles. This lack of sensory perception prevents them from realizing the danger and getting out of the way in time, resulting in them getting run over on roadways.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The armadillo's shell protects it from the sun.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement claims that the armadillo's shell protects it from the sun. However, this is not true. The armadillo's shell is made of bony plates that provide protection against predators, but it does not offer any significant protection from the sun. Armadillos are known to have poor thermoregulation abilities, and they often seek shade or burrow underground to escape the heat. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

    • 10 minutes

    • They can't hold their breath.

    • 4 minutes

    • 6 minutes

    • 2 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 minutes
    Explanation
    Armadillos can hold their breath for up to 6 minutes. This ability allows them to stay submerged underwater while crossing streams or rivers. Holding their breath for an extended period helps armadillos navigate through water and avoid predators. This adaptation showcases their survival skills in their natural habitat.
