There was a face off in the corner.

I read about this back in the 80s. When we visited Florida this past March, we mentioned it to our brother in law, who lives near Bradenton. He was not aware of the danger.
I just emailed this article to him. Thanks for posting it.

Shoot and I was so looking forward to armadillo bowling.
By the way according to “Alas Babylon” armadillo tastes like lamb.

I'm interested in seeing how far north those creatures get. Animal experts say they can't get too far north because they will not be able to adapt to extreme cold like opossums (another Southern native) did when they went north.
On a recent trip to Branson I started seeing dead armadillos on the road after we got past Kansas City. I wish I had a dollar for every one I saw.
To: Popman
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Show the armadillo it could be done.

"Armadillos can jump up to 4 feet in the air.."
They say that's one reason why so many are road kill. If they didn't jump into the air, a number of them would just have a vehicle pass over them.
But when they jump in the air, which is their normal reaction to being surprised, they're guaranteed to have the vehicle hit them.

Did you hear about the businessman who didn’t know his secretary had leprosy until his business dropped off?
