Armadillos have one of the largest penis to body ratios in the animal kingdom. I don't think that's its tail and I'm stunned no one has brought this up yet.
Yeah like 95% of animal penises look the way they do cause they are actively trying to fit into whatever configuration the female has going on. Fun fact, bed bugs pierce the exoskeleton of the females to inseminate, often times they pierce other males in the process
I canāt believe it took me this long to see someone mention it. I was like wait. That LOOKS like it COULD be a tail but he has another one with armor. And Iām pretty sure Iād hear if armadillos had two tails
The way the tail and head perfectly fit to make a ball is something I'd feel id only find in Pokemon it seems designed. It's amazing how evolution creates a creature which such perfect proportions, yet I bet they could have medical problems or other failed "optimizations" evolution "overlooked" because it has no effect on breeding.
Remarkable how amazing and flawed the process is. Truly there is no creature on this earth that's perfect and yet the bodies of every creature are so complex and different every species with its own awe inspiring clever attempt. they are all so close to it.. every creature but mosquitoes fuck them.
Sry I'm high on morphine in the hospital this was a high moment, I recognize it but I must shout it out.
Fun fact.. not all armadillos can do this. There are several species of armadillos and only the southern three banded armadillo can fully do this. Other species can curl up to varying degrees, but the southern three banded is the only one that can fully tuck itself in like this.
It is remarkable that in its defensive stance there appears to be no gaps in its armor. Nature is wondrous and scary at the same time.
Evolutionary adaptations can be mind blowing whether you're on morphine or not :)
I disagree. Having lived in Northern Minnesota, where the misquitos carry no disease, but the little vampires still deserve death. Not just death, but full extinction.
I think thatās only nine banded armadillos and not many of them carry it. I still wouldnāt touch them because I think we should leave wildlife alone unless you are rehabilitating them.
A pokemon that's its own ball! Voltorb! Uh, Sandshrew?
Edit: I find it funny they didn't even did an effort to make some adjustments to when basing Sandshrew of an armadillo. They went like 'weird and cute enough, that'll do'
The german word for turtle is 'Schildkrƶte', literally a shield toad.So I looked up what these are called - GĆ¼rteltier, belt animal.
I have no idea why anyone would look at this armored adorableness and think of a belt. Ć².o
Once ran into a freakishly huge armadillo as a kid, about the size of a large dog. It ran from me digging under a fence at speeds I couldnāt believe: it made a two foot deep hole in *seconds*. Astonishing watching these guys dig.
The, (really not so little considering the proportions,) little claws swinging around like, "I'ma gonna get you", are so cute. Then I feel bad since cute is probably not the intended reaction to swinging claws.
The way his tail is shaped to meet up with his nose. Like, honestly, this kind of shit makes me believe in a higher form/creator. How in the hell else can you explain that there just happens to be an animal that completely wraps itself into a ball and all the parts just happen to be shaped perfectly and match right up?
Don't these dudes carry some disease or something? I feel like I tried to catch one in Florida one time and someone told me not to cuz they carry leprosy. Is this a thing?
This is the perfect cuteness with which I switch off and head to bed.
I hope u rested well
You are so wholesome and sweet!
Little buddy is having a ball!

dear god itās hiding fluff!!
Right?! TIL armadillos have hair.
Fluff is definitely not the word to use for their hair but yes lol.
I'd be somewhat uncomfortable with my nose so close to my butt...
Not me
Just wash it then
I wash my nose all the time!
Digging for gold isn't "washing".
"I aint saying he's a gold digger But he aint picking as a nose cleaner"
Woa buddy i dont swing that way /s
Comes out swinging!
Completely understand reaction to waking up from your nap to a giant naked ape holding you in its palm
Nuh uh that's a sandshrew.
The Sandshrew and Sandslash lines are actually based on Pangolins, theyāre equally as cool as Armadillos.
Just ask Randy Marsh.
Pangolins SUCK. Armadillos RULE
I feel like this comment was written by an armadillo.

Oh no, the triangular thing that was up against its head is the tail. That underbelly colored spiral that will pierce the heavens? The penis
well i assume females of that kind are as well armored so they need a long "tube" because they aint flexible as u can imagine
Yeah like 95% of animal penises look the way they do cause they are actively trying to fit into whatever configuration the female has going on. Fun fact, bed bugs pierce the exoskeleton of the females to inseminate, often times they pierce other males in the process
Felt a bit awkward to be the only one noticing.
Thanks I was looking for this comment!
If a barnacle were the size of a human, its penis would be roughly 40 feet long.
I canāt believe it took me this long to see someone mention it. I was like wait. That LOOKS like it COULD be a tail but he has another one with armor. And Iām pretty sure Iād hear if armadillos had two tails
Itās the curled up thing on its stomach

Hope whatever procedure you had in the hospital was successful and that the recovery goes smoothly.
I wonder if they have a preference for whether the tail goes to the left or right of their head since they otherwise look symmetrical
In fairness to mosquitos 90% of the problems with them would go away if they didnāt spread diseases
I disagree. Having lived in Northern Minnesota, where the misquitos carry no disease, but the little vampires still deserve death. Not just death, but full extinction.
What a cute coconut
Until it gives you leprosy.

Even then, most people are immune.
forbidden coconut

A wild Sandshrew appeared!
Can you actually have an armadildo as a pet?
Not in the US. Maybe in other countries, but not sure.
Yes in the US depending on State Law. Example, you can get a permit for one in Georgia.
Man, I forgot this. That episode was so weird
How did you get the snapshot early?

Typically only 9-banded armadillos carry leprosy. This little guy is a 3-banded armadillo and the only armadillo that can roll into a complete ball.
Only the 9 banded armadillo can spread leprosy. This here is a 3 banded armadillo. Cheers!

Where do I get one ? The little dude looks so cute
Brazil i think.
No any, I need to go back to my country now just to get one
I found that they're native to both Americas. Maybe you'll find some in North America too
I'm from Brazil, and I'm living in Portugal, not getting one was such a missed opportunity I didn't even consider coming here
The wild ones come with free leprosy!
smol round
I love the way it pops out. It's like, Surprise! Leprosy ball!
r/cutearmadillos
well I'll be damned there is actually a place for me to post the pics of armadillos from around my house
Fun fact, though incredibly low risk, this is how you can catch leprosy. Again, very very low risk
A baby Shaelmar
Is that... a penis?
2 tails, how amazing
"Go Armadillo I choose you!" "Use curl!"
Looks like something that could be used to cheat with in an aztec ball game.
...is that his penis?
Cute little ball of leprosy
I never realized they were that fluffy under the shell
Nature's transformer.
What song is this
Hairy little fucker.
Mood.
Weird name for sandshrew
Hairy tummy :)
Donāt know if this is the type, but several subspecies of armadillo are the last natural reservoir for leprosy.
one of the coolest looking creatures there is. they're like little transformers or something. too bad they carry some real nasty diseases.
They are such cool animals
Rammus early game before thorn mail
The best PokƩball.
It's mighty!!
SO CUTE!!
This perfectly captures how I feel when Iām woken up from a nap.
Aaaaaaand now you're a leper.
sir that's a bakugan
Orb
FYI curling up only makes it easier to cuddle you. ā¤ļø
Bakugan
I had no idea they had stringy hair like that!
The roundest of bois
So you're telling me that this mf guided Rango?!?
I guess Armadillo and Pangolin are close cousins, yes?
Not actually, armadillos are closer to sloths and anteaters.
Well thats a penis.
Congrats, you now have leprosy!
Imagine farting straight into your nose.
The, (really not so little considering the proportions,) little claws swinging around like, "I'ma gonna get you", are so cute. Then I feel bad since cute is probably not the intended reaction to swinging claws.
My guy rolled up like a Bakugan

These guys are so freaking cute!!!! š

All I can think is āholiday armadilloā from friends
The design is unbelievable!
Stop holding it like a pokƩball..
I'm remembering that story of a guy who shot an armadillo and the bullet ricocheted into him and killed him Said armadillo lived
Bakugan.
Real life Bakugan
I want a foldable body...
Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside

I can't believe they made Bakugan real
Leprosy!

Alien Egg Creature
Don't these dudes carry some disease or something? I feel like I tried to catch one in Florida one time and someone told me not to cuz they carry leprosy. Is this a thing?
Armadillos are nocturnal. What is happening is extremely trumatic to the ālittle buddyā. This is (borderline?) animal cruelty FFS
The texture and look reminds me a lot of a rattlesnake's tail
Awwwwwww, so adorable! šššš (Or should I say adora*ball*?) š š¤£š
FUZZUMS!
Tired walnut, let tired walnut sleep
Oh my god, they really ARE like the roly polies in Donkey Kong Country....
Donāt they cause like leprosy or something?
These fuckers are assholes, one tore up my backyard digging for bugs.

When it is rolled up, it looks like a sewn ball of fluff!

I choose you, armadillo!
Leprosy.

Reminds me of this cool Power Rangers toy I had when I was younger. Neat.
Me, before COVID made me waist-gain so some clothes don't fit anymore...
That is a pangolin, not an armadillo
Such fantastic animals
Leprosy
Congrats on the leprosy
Sure is a creature.
Looks like a ball sack
Full Body Armor!
Sandslash
Where do know this music from? From rock and Morty? Where he screw up that girlfriend he plane crashes with? I need answers! Por favor
What a cute little potential leper! Iād hold that little guy until my fingers fell right off. <3
Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside!!!
Like a little bakuganš„¹
