@zane_lamprey: Armadillos have huge… ya know! Don’t let this little guy fool ya, he’s packin heat! He’s a three-banded armadillo, the only species of armadillo that can roll itself into a perfect, predator-proof ball. But that’s just the beginning of what makes this armored oddball fascinating. I get hands-on with one of nature’s strangest creatures and learn some truly unexpected facts, like which animal has the highest body-to-wiener ratio (spoiler: it’s actually not the armadillo, but it’s close). We break down the anatomy, the behavior, and the surprisingly flexible armor of this little tank on legs. Fun Armadillo Facts: • Only the three-banded armadillo can roll into a full ball • Their armor isn’t rock-hard—it’s flexible, making it harder for predators to bite through • They don’t burrow, unlike most other armadillo species • Their tongue is longer than you think (and they aren’t afraid to use it) • Despite their squat shape, they can run up to 30 miles per hour (though some argue it’s 3 to 5—either way, it’s hilarious to watch) • That tail is not just decoration. It locks into place when they’re curled up • When threatened, they hide their face… right in their own business (yes, really) #Armadillo #ThreeBandedArmadillo #WeirdAnimals #AnimalEncounter #ZanesWorld #WildlifeFacts #NatureIsWeird #AnimalLovers #AnimalVideo #AnimalFun #StrangeButTrue #DidYouKnow #EducationalContent #WildlifeEducation #FunAnimalFacts #MeetTheAnimals #CuteButWeird #ArmorUp #AnimalBehavior #NatureNerd
