Nice pangolin. We have armadillo here; got one living under the porch whom the cat keeps company. I understand that armadillo are the only animal other than humans that can harbor the virus that causes leprosy.

Yah.

Before the other parts dropped off, they used to be Tyrranosaurus Rexs.

There was a problem in Texas with leprosy-bearing armadillos. We don’t see them here in NC; only the occasional rabid opossum or aardvark.

I’d never heard of the pangolin until Petunia went to Singapore, but now I think it’s the perfect Undead Thread animal. Even better than penguins.
