50 Times People Saw Something So Satisfying, They Had to Take a Photo

#25: Is It a Ball? Is It an Armadillo?

You guessed it—this is indeed an armadillo. This cute, though strange, mammal is known for its ability to curl up inside itself into a ball, mostly for protection against predators. That sounds rather useful—imagine every time you see a person on the street you don’t want to speak with, you simply curl into your body and pretend you’re a ball.

This is what an armadillo looks like when it curls up inside its shell, and for some reason, this photo is oddly satisfying. Perhaps it’s the way his feet and tail fit evenly next to one another, or maybe it’s because this trick is so clever.
