[{"role": "system", "content": "Armadillos are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata with a leathery armour shell. The Chlamyphoridae and Dasypodidae are the only surviving families in the order, which is part of the superorder Xenarthra, along with the anteaters and sloths. The word \"armadillo\" means \"little armoured one\" in Spanish. The Aztecs called them \"\u0101y\u014dt\u014dchtli\" , Nahuatl for \"turtle-rabbit\": \"\u0101y\u014dtl\" (turtle) and \"t\u014dchtli\" (rabbit). The Portuguese word for \"armadillo\" is \"tatu\" which derives from the Tupi language. Similar names are also found in other, especially European, languages. About nine extant genera and 21 extant species of armadillo have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armour. Their average length is about , including tail. The giant armadillo grows up to and weighs up to , while the pink fairy armadillo is a diminutive species, with an overall length of . All species are native to the Americas, where they inhabit a variety of different environments. Recent genetic research suggests that an extinct group of giant armoured mammals, the glyptodonts, should be included within the lineage of armadillos, having diverged some 35 million years ago, much more recently than previously assumed.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "armadillos are wonderful! they are new world placental mammals in the order cingulata with a leathery armour shell"}, {"role": "user", "content": "armadillos are a weird looking animal, prehistoric looking"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yea and the world armadillo means \"little armoured one\" in spanish"}, {"role": "user", "content": "the name perfectly fits them"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yea in the portuguese word for \"armadillo\" is \"tatu\" which dervives from the tupi language."}, {"role": "user", "content": "what does tatu mean, armoured?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "no it means armadill :) .. there are about nine extant genera and 21 extant speicies of armadillo that have been described, some of which are distinguished by the number of brands on their armour"}, {"role": "user", "content": "once in awhile I see a dead one on the side of the road"}]
