So, IMO, not a "good laugh" scenario. More like a "oh, FFS" scenario.

Than they are of it. They're pretty peaceful critters.

except for that leprosy thing.
i have stood multiple times amidst an entire family of armadillos
including pups.
they would just shuffle away, rooting for bugs under the leaves the entire time. i dont think their mouth is large enough to nip your toe.

Oddly enough, it's treated with thalidomide, the same drug that caused horrible birth defects in the 1950s. Thalidomide is used to treat certain cancers too.
