They are pink when they are born.
And I believe every momma Armadillo has 4 babies and they are all identical.

All armadillos are identical. The babies will be the same sex unless some identity themselves differently.

I’ve heard about the leprosy thing too. Is that true? Does anybody know?

According to my research, yes it’s true but pretty rare in the U.S. It appears to be more common in Brazil.
Even if it is transferred to a human it is curable.

Used to catch them all the time when I was younger, never gave it a second thought.

Yep

I watched one dig into a fire ant mound and he started eatin them. I reckon they aint bad to have around if they can eat fire ants.

Dusty Britches · 05-26-2023, 08:33 AM

My dog Cowboy loves catching the babies. He brings them to me alive. I always laugh.

So, what is up with the money? Can I make money selling them? Cause I have an overpopulation.

yeah, its called poison ivy that they dig up.

muzzlebrake · 05-26-2023, 08:49 AM

Possum on the half shell and tastes like chicken

Watch out for them toenails. They will cut you like a razor. I still have scars from catching baby dillers when I was a kid.

Bucknaked · 05-26-2023, 08:56 AM

I get plenty of archery practice with those sumbeaches around here.

Gumbo Man · 05-26-2023, 08:59 AM

Once therir old enough to start drinking Lone Star beer their shells harden up pretty quickly.

$30,000 for a full adult shell if you can get it into china. They grind it down into a powder and use it to heal skin diseases. Pangolin shell brings in 4 times as more. I would be lying if I had said I hadn't thought about it.

They are the only animal that can carry the disease.

Looks like this one has been drinking bud light!

Put him a collar and rope and take him home..lol Cute lil one

2B4Him · 05-26-2023, 10:03 AM

And did you know they can swim?
My lab chased one into our pool and then had to swim after it to retrieve it and get it out.

Yes Sir- my wife and I watched one enter our pond, almost totally submerged with his snout just enough out of the water to breathe. He came out about 5’ away from me. Pretty Daggum amazing. I let him live

Pretty amazing how that works. As I understand it, the female has one egg, it then splits into two, and the two then split for a total of four. Therefore, all babies are the same sex from the birthing.

Yes. I think the Liberals are all trying to convince us that we’re all armadillos.
