sand dwellers
He lives on the shore, buried in the sand, where the waves break. With the coming and going of the waters, it sometimes appears on the surface. But if that happens, he doesn't waste time: he quickly digs a hole and hides in the sand. His name: armadillo or armadillo. Do you know this pet? He was named this way by the Indians, who thought he looked like a small armadillo.
“The armadillos are found in this part of the beach because they are filtering animals: that is, they extract their food from the water. They have a long antenna, full of bristles, which remove algae and microscopic animals from the water, carrying them up to the mouth,” says biologist Tereza Calado, from the Laboratory of Marine Sciences, at the Federal University of Alagoas.
