These guys are just crazy!
These peculiar creatures are some very wild & strange friends to have. In a lot of ways, this one looks more like a snapping turtle than a mammal.
From living in burrows to potentially carrying leprosy, there is a lot to learn about the Armadillo. If you’d like to hear a bit more about what I share on this animal, just check out the video below.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Those snapping turtles are hideous looking things haha, they look like maniacs. The black rat snakes remind me of nothing that I have seen in Australia apart from red belly black snakes.

the only animal that very scary for me is the Armadillos because it's the only known other animals besides humans to host the leprosy bacillus.

yes definitely, but Armadillos cause spike in leprosy cases in Florida for the pass 2 years. Experts said they believe the spike is because of people coming into contact with armadillos.

I read somewhere a long time ago that because armadillos have litters of 4 genetically identical babies of the same gender, they provide the perfect animal for leprosy research.

We see these guys in Florida all the time, but never considered scratching their hairy bellies. They (Park Rangers) say that it is really a species of South American Armadillo that we have, that originally escaped from the Barnum & Bailey circus that used to winter in Tampa.

That's right, there's monkeys in Florida too, that were left on their own after episodes of Tarzan were filmed with Jonny Weissmuller back in what, the 1930's?

My dad used to have an armadillo as a pet, someone told him you could catch leprosy from them just as you mentioned but since he had been found as a baby and raised by humans there's no way we thought he'd make it in the wild. Loved this post as usual!

Super cool, an armadillo! It's one of my favorite animals with the letter 'A' after the aardvark. Of course, there are people in certain parts of the world that avoid armadillos like the plague due to fear of contracting leprosy, but I think they're pretty awesome - all armored up and ready to chill in burrows. Always look forward to meeting your wild friends every day Papa!
