They have thick bristle for hair on their skin and it sord of feels like a pig. I would say the biggest they would get is about7-10 pounds and the only one I have ever touched was a dead one. But their armor is pretty cool it is I dont know how to say it but it is hinged if that makes sence to you

Unfortunately (or not), not a live one (I have a skeleton of one -- I collect bones!). They have a scaley hide, so I don't think they would be much fun to pet! Also, they can carry leprosy.
"The nine-banded armadillo is a known carrier of leprosy and is a key subject animal in Hansen's disease research. "
