Since everyone has realized what big buddies aardvarks are I& #39;d like to remind folks that giant armadillos exist. They eat similar diets but are from different continents.

Look at that big armor buddy!

There are 21 extant (living) species of armadillo & I do not know them all but I am sure they are all wonderful armored buddies.

You can read more about them here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo ">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arma...
Please do not try to pet armadillos. They can transmit things like leprosy and changas disease.That& #39;s not their fault, of course. They had to have gotten leprosy from Europeans as it wasn& #39;t in the Americas before Europeans showed up.
Armadillos aren& #39;t the only armored anteaters by the way.

Pangolins are their cousins!

These cute armor buddies are getting a bad rap right now & already had it bad from people poaching them but they& #39;re wonderful. They can become balls.

I just learned about the screaming hairy armadillo which shrieks when handled.

I do not blame this little buddy for screaming.

I have wanted to scream a lot lately too.

Armadillos are super cool as are all anteaters.

Enjoy this picture of a big hairy armadillo that is quite a mood. This armadillo speaks to how I& #39;ve felt lately.

I need to get back to resting.

Please have a wonderful day & try to get some rest.

PS: Maybe one day I& #39;ll finally make a fantasy series that has an abundance of armadillo based creatures in it. I put a giant robot armadillo in a comic once (in Womathology: Heroic) because I like armadillos. XD

Now I go rest.

One more armadillo thing before I go, back in the days of mega fauna there were GIGANTIC armadillos who they& #39;ve done DNA tests on which proved they were armadillos.

Meet glyptodon!
