Armadillos are known for having a leathery armor shell. The word armadillo is Spanish for "little armored one". The armadillo is most common in the central southernmost states, particularly Texas. Their range is as far east as South Carolina and Florida and as far north as Nebraska; they have been consistently expanding their range over the last century due to a lack of natural predators and have been found as far north as southern Illinois and Indiana.
