    For some reason, I always pictured armadillos as being like turtles… That’s not based on any actual knowledge, but this is still really shocking

      I find the anatomy of the armadillo a lot more reassuring than the turtle’s IMHO. It’s a body with armor on top. But the turtle is the shell and the shell is the turtle. That’s just crazy to me somehow.

    An armadillo’s reaction after finding out they naturally carry leprosy.

      This is random but my graduate school program had an annual cookout event called the Armadillo Roast which featured an actual barbecued armadillo (along with more conventional meats). I tried some and it tasted like sweeter dark meat chicken. Then I learned that that particular armadillo had been found as roadkill and that armadillos can carry leprosy and that it can possibly be transmitted by eating it. These facts did not improve my mood that day.
