What is the best-named armadillo? (And how is it somehow NOT the pink fairy armadillo??) Here’s another one of my “Off-Cuts” — snippets of videos that I rescue from the cutting room floor. The nine-banded armadillo is a relatively recent arrival to the United States, first seen in Texas in 1849, and with a range that has expanded dramatically northward over the last several decades. The nine-banded armadillo is just one (or maybe 4 — see Note, below) of the more than 20 species of armadillos fou

This armadillo weighed less than a pound when he was rescued, but he's grown up into a little wild man who's always trying to jump into the shower with his mom! | Little But Fierce by The Dodo
