I think they’re in the “so ugly they’re cute category, and some people describe them as looking like “possums with a shell”. Armadillo babies, however, can’t catch a ride in a convenient pouch. They are born in burrows, (almost always as quadruplets) excavated by the mother with her shovel-like claws. Once the babies leave, these burrows create habitat for other animals like rabbits, possums, mink, skunks and snakes.
