Is it a ball? Is it an armadillo?
You guessed it – this is indeed an armadillo. These cute, thought strange, mammal is known for his ability to curl up inside himself 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 his tail fit evenly next to one another, or maybe it’s because there’s something so clever about this trick.
