"It was an animal that appeared 2 million years before Christ and would have died out 10,000 to 15,000 years B.C. because of a freeze.Are they sure about the cause? I bet they were good eatin'..

I wonder if they also found a Volkswagen with the beetle.

When fossils are dug out of South America, it's traditional for Bill Clinton to try to hump it.

It was apparently run over by an Ice Age semi the size of a battleship.

The earth isn't that old.
Just as in Noah's time, things lived to great ages, it was just a big old armadillo.
To: SWAMPSNIPER
You have a pet armadillo? What's that like?

Thanks, but these things have been known to exist, so finding yet another fossil isn't enough for a ping to the list.

6 foot armadillo? That's a lot of roadkill...

Not really pets, just things all over the yard, like minature bulldozers. I don't do much landscaping, which is just as well, I'd have to spend half My time shooting armadillos. They are almost blind, and very stupid, not pet material at all.

The large tasty armadillo was never endangered until God invented 'Aggies'....

They work on my yard pretty good too. I have always heard they carried leprosy so I don't touch them.
