A Lake County man taking a late night stroll in his driveway was caught off guard by two armadillos, and the funny moment was caught on his security camera.
Randy, who didn’t want to share his last name, was recently hanging out in his garage past midnight when he said he thought he heard coyotes.
Furless rats, but I hear some folks say the roadkill is tasty
ReplyDeleteMajor carriers or leprosy by my understanding, to the point that one needs to be careful washing their guts off your car after a roadkill incident, so cook thoroughly. I can't imagine eating one, or that they actually taste decent. But starvation via hyperinflation will make a man do things...
DeleteI seem to recall (probably via stories from my grandparents) that they were euphemistically called Hoover turkeys during the Great Depression 1.0. This time around they'll be prepared as kumala curry, served with a side of joetatos.
And Possums were called Hoover Hogs during the same period.
DeleteLeprosy is easily treatable.
DeleteAnd any left on the 'dillo goes away when cooked well.
They can't see worth a damn and when they get scared they just run in random directions. Once when my wife was new to Texas she was taking a picture of one standing up on it's hind legs and it just charged straight at her and bounced off her boots. I had bought her a pair of Noconas and told her there are reasons we wear high top boots around here. One time I watched an armadillo blindly walk off the edge of a ditch. Another time (back when I could see well) I shot one in the head and it just kept walking. It's a good thing they have armor because they are dumb as rocks.
