Armadillos of North America
Because of their low body temperature and lack of fat, the highest population of nine-banded armadillos can be found in this U.S. state.

Mrs. Padilla taught the children how to make this device to safely view the eclipse.
Pinhole camera
This is the common, alternate name for manatees, which are large, graceful animals.
Sea cows
Jellyfish are classified as this type of animal because they lack a backbone.
Invertebrates
These light bulbs are more expensive but more efficient and last three times as long as incandescent lights.
Compact fluorescent lights
Since nine-banded armadillos have poor eyesight, they primarily rely on this sense for hunting and moving through their territory.
Smell
This character is the one who initiates the project and explains how to build the viewing device.

Authorities gave manatees this status in 1967, which was later downgraded to "threatened" in 2017.
Endangered
The percentage of a jellyfish's slimy, bag-like body that is composed of water.
95%
This is the unit used to measure electrical energy in the passage.
Kilowatt hour
Besides their shell, these hard structures cover an armadillo's head, back, and legs.
Bony plates
According to Neve, this is how long the upcoming solar eclipse is expected to last.
Two minutes
Decades of development and pollution near coasts killed off a great deal of this, the manatees' primary food.
Sea grass
Before recent discoveries, scientists incorrectly referred to jellyfish as this in the food web.
Dead Ends
Along with using a water-heater blanket, this action helps save energy related to the hot water system.
Insulating your pipes
The maximum amount of time a nine-banded armadillo may spend sleeping in its burrow each day.
16 hours
Looking at the sun during an eclipse without these items can cause serious eye injury.
Solar glasses
Manatees can grow to be 10 feet long and weigh as much as this number of pounds.
1,200 pounds
This animal was observed in 2014 not just riding on a jellyfish, but feasting on it as well.
Lobster larvae
The addition of this material in the attic, along with storm windows and solar screens, can reduce a home's energy needs for heating and cooling.
Insulation
Based on their consumption of insects, eggs, fruit, and berries, armadillos fall into this dietary classification.
Omnivores
This material is taped over a hole on the short side of the box, and then a tiny hole is poked into it.
Aluminum Foil
When resting, manatees can remain underwater for this long, although they usually surface every 3 or 4 minutes.
15 to 20 minutes
Scientists initially believed jellyfish couldn't be a food source for these animals, which need "juicier, fattier" meals.
Fast-moving fish
If you need a new refrigerator, the passage suggests investing in one of these to save energy.
