In chem, we made stuffed moles and had to name em. I named mine Armoledilo (it's gray with black stripes), and now we have to write stories about our moles. Any ideas?

Your armoledillo mole model has to have at least 9 bands.
Although your name is clever I don't see how this is going to teach you about moles in chemisty, but whatever works.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo
"Armadillos are small placental mammals, known for having a bony armor shell. The Dasypodidae are the only surviving family in the order Cingulata. Until as recently as 1995, the family was placed in the order Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths.

There are approximately 10 extant genera and around 20 extant species of armadillo, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armor. Their average length is about 75 centimeters (30 in), including tail; the Giant Armadillo reaches roughly 90 cm (3 ft), while the Pink Fairy Armadillos are diminutive species with an overall length of 12–15 cm (4–5 in). All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of environments. In the United States, the sole resident armadillo is the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), which is most common in the central southernmost states, particularly Texas."
