Armadillos and the Austin hippies are somewhat alike, because they're maligned and picked on.
Armadillos like to sleep all day and roam at night.
They share their homes with others.
People think they're smelly and ugly and they keep their noses in the grass.
They're paranoid.
But they've got one characteristic nobody can knock. They survive.

Armadillos always give birth to four identical young -- the only mammal known to do so.

Armadillos like to swim, and they are very good at it. They have a strong dog paddle,
and can even go quite a distance underwater, walking along the bottom of streams and ponds.
When they need to float, they gulp air into their intestines to make them more buoyant

Some female armadillos being used for research have given
birth to young long after they were captured -- up to two years afterwards,
in some cases!
These "virgin births" are a result of the female's ability to delay
implantation of the fertilized egg during times of stress.
This reproductive tactic is one reason why the 'dillos are so
good at colonizing new areas.

Wild armadillos have been known to be infected with the
bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen's disease).
The only cases of transmission from armadillos to
humans have occurred in rare incidents in which
people ate undercooked armadillo meat.
