I Had No Idea,

armadillos were so tough,

so tough in fact they can deflect bullets from a .38 revolver, and even ricochete them back to hit the shooter! and that was what happened to a Texas man, Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, Texas, at around 3 a.m. local time Thursday morning, He spotted the armadillo on his property and opened fire, "His wife was in the house, He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Rowe said, the animal's hard shell deflected at least one of three bullets, which then struck the man's jaw, he said, the man was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where his jaw was wired shut, according to Rowe, the status of the animal is unknown, "We didn't find the armadillo," the sheriff said, what tough little blighters armadillos are!
