Question: is a armadillo a marsupial?
Answer: Armadillos are mammals, just like you. Contrary to what you may have heard, the armadillo is neither a rodent nor a marsupial, and they are not related to the opossum any more than you are. ... They belong to the order Cingulata, family Dasypodidae. Their closest living relatives are sloths and anteaters.
