2. What is that, an armadillo?

Aw. Poor ugly thing. I hope they're gentle.

[Phoenix61]

3. They are. nt

[Lochloosa]

4. Just a tongue with a shell

[Control-Z]

5. Hahaha!

That made me laugh. I took a closer look and he does have Shrek ears! So there's that!

[CatWoman]

6. they are a delicacy in some parts of Mexico

8. I've had it. Tastes like lean pork. nt

9. Possum on the half shell.

10. If you try to grab it it will crap on you and then roll into a ball.

For some reason people only mention the ball part. I found out in boy scouts when a fellow scout chased one, dove and caught it, pulling it to him while laying on his belly. It crapped all over his face! There is more but I will spare you the gory details.

13. They're vegetarians; only destructive to plants.

When living in Florida, we had friends with orange groves - those little beasts would eat from the roots up.

11. I saw Tony Bourdain almost cry when they caught and ate one in Australia

or New Zealand. It was so scared it was shivering. Tony wishes it had been spared by the family who made the meal since the taste and amount wasn't worth the poor thing's life.

14. Armadillo is saying

"You guys fucked up the climate and caused all this. The least you can do is let me on one of your kayaks!"
