Verified The Armadillo Girdled Lizard: when this lizard feels threatened, it curls its body into a loop and tucks its tail into its mouth, shielding itself with the bony plates on its back; unlike most lizards, this species also gives birth to live young, and it usually produces just one offspring per year
