Armadillos: Nature's Armoured Miracles (Wildlife Documentary) | Wild America | Real Wild

That rattlesnake looked pretty sheepish after his face just slammed into the side of a tank with no effect.

The intro reminded me of something I used to see as a child. Old animation style loved it

RIP Marty! Perhaps the greatest pioneer in wildlife film making.

i wish there was more documentaries on armadillo's

I had an armadillo chase my dog for around 20 minutes last night. The dog deserved it to be fair. This same armadillo has been visiting for years now

This was a great documentary. What an amazing animal & show!!

Marty is still alive, thank goodness, he is the best.

I think I’m an armadillo; clumsy, tough skinned, unbothered, ocd, always hungry and roaming life with no fear. Armadillo lives like if I die I die if I don’t well I’ll keep eating. LOL

I loved watching this, I would love to see one. I live in a small coastal town on the eastern side of the .U.K although we have beautiful wildlife, I would like to see other creatures from the four corners etc, but due too severe health problems & lack of cash , I just keep watching wonderful programs like this one.

They see me rollin' They hatin' Patrollin' and tryna catch me ridin' dirty

Didn't realize the show was going to be a hundred years old

The Skunk was very upset and insulted when he got dirt kicked in his face. Very rude behavior Mr Dillow

I used to watch this show when I was little! Loved the intro

That's the luckiest armadillo to get away from those gators!!

Fascinating creatures! We must do more to protect them and not to invade their theritory more than we already did. Beautiful video!❤️🥰

I've recently seen armadillos in the western portion of South Carolina.

One just snuck up on me while I was smoking out back lol I live in south tx they don’t see u till 1-3 ft away I usually scream and they run fast! So cute I’m less scared now watching this

Thanks for the documentary!
