Description

Schleich WILD LIFE Armadillo. Recommended age in years (min.): 3 years, Product color: Brown

The armadillo looks unique with its thick horned shell. It covers its entire body, leaving only the pointed nose and eyes exposed. Its long nose is a giveaway: The armadillo has a very good sense of smell and can sniff out insects even when they're buried deep in the ground. It doesn't mind the heat. It's native to South America and accustomed to hot days.

The armadillo is unmistakable, and it certainly lives up to its name. Its thick, scaly armor wraps around its entire body, as if composed of several belts. It looks adorable, especially when it runs nimbly through the desert on its short legs. Its keen nose has surely found a tasty morsel. Its favorite food is insects. When it digs them out of their underground burrows, the armadillo can hold its breath for six minutes! After that, it's truly earned its meal.
