In this companion to The Upside-Down Book of Sloths (ISBN 978 1 324 01577 2), Elizabeth Shreeve explores the evolutionary history of armadillos and how they became the burrowing, swimming, roly-poly, armoured predators of today. She pairs modern species like the adorable pink fairy armadillo, the chilling screaming hairy armadillo and the iconic nine-banded armadillo with their ancient counterparts, such as the glyptodont, which could be as large as a car, had a turtle-like dome of armour and even a spiked tail club! Entertaining, educational and completely endearing, The Oddball Book of Armadillos digs deep into armadillos, their evolutionary history and their future in our changing world. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583088193714,"sku":"9781324052180","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781324052180.jpg?v=1720957557","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781324052180","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
