Question

What do armadillos do for the planet

Answer 1

Answer:

Honestly nothing much unless you consider them to keep populations low of over populated animals.

Explanation:

Strong legs and huge front claws are used for digging, and long, sticky tongues for extracting ants and termites from their tunnels. In addition to bugs, armadillos eat small vertebrates, plants, and some fruit, as well as the occassional carrion meal. Armadillos are the only mammals that have protective armor. The mammals are known to dig up insect larvae for food, and it's possible they will compete for such meals with resident animals such as skunks. Armadillos have also been known to raid the nests of various species and so could harm populations of ground-nesting birds such as quail.
