Brad from Texas asks: What's the deal with armadillo's? Why don't you ever see a live one?

Armadillos (mainly Dasypus) make common roadkill due to their habit of jumping to about fender height when startled by an oncoming pickup truck. Armadillos are also like bubble wrap...you can't help but pop the bubble wrap with your fingers...same is true for dillos, you just cannot resist trying to run them down or shoot them.
