Three Banded Armadillo
Uploaded: January 23, 2015 17:05:33 | Entered: January 23, 2015 17:13:21
Until its rediscovery in the early 1990s, it was believed that the Brazilian three-banded armadillo had become extinct. The plating on the body forms two domed shells, separated by three armoured bands which are joined together by flexible bands of skin. These flexible regions allow the Brazilian three-banded armadillo to roll into a ball, thereby protecting its vulnerable underparts. It is one of only two species capable of this remarkable feat.

We had plenty of armadillos in Louisiana where I grew up. They are the only other animal (besides humans) to carry leprosy, so we had a lot of research for Hansen's disease. #11231461Jeffrey R. Bange January 24, 2015
