D'awww... Texas.
Ahaha... I saw the cutest thing walking down our street when I came home this evening. A little armadillo. I got right up to it before it seemed to realize "Hello, person! Potential threat!" and started walking the other way. I followed after it for a ways until it probably began to think I was chasing it and scurried off faster. So funny. It was all like "FLEE!"
I came in and told my dad about it and he's like "You should be careful. They can have rabies."
Now, I don't know how many of you have ever gotten close to an armadillo, but they're not exactly the most threatening of creatures. A dog, a raccoon, an opossum, heck a rat... but an armadillo? I felt like those guys in Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the bloodthirsty rabbit. It's like... you don't normally hear of people being attacked by rabid armadillos. Did he think I was going to try and pick it up or something? What was it going to do - chew on my jeans?
"It has sharp pointy teeth!"
ETA: As a side note, armadillos would make terrible ninjas. Their armor scritches on everything. So cute, but not very stealthy.
