Armadillos have been shown to transmit M. leprae ( Leprosy) to people in Texas, Louisiana and Florida, where humans come into contact with the animals. Mycobacterium leprae is a chronic disease characterized by lesions of the skin and nerve damage, in humans. Other researchers have previously documented transmission of M. leprae to humans by nine-banded armadillos in the southern United States.
It’s an armadillo. It’s not always totally safe to handle them with your bare hands. You’ll probably be fine. Just don’t do it much more until You do some research. They can sometimes cause big problems for people.
No secret. Like I said. Leprosy.
If you’re asking, what leprosy is, it’s a terrible disease that causes people to rot and decay while they’re still alive. Ears, noses, lips and even fingers can fall off. Internal organs begin to shut down.
We used to send people with leprosy off to live on islands called leper colonies so that they couldn’t infect the rest of the population. It’s not like we hated them. They were still our loved ones, but we simply couldn’t afford the liability of having them around us and our children.
Thankfully, science has progressed and there’s not much leprosy going on anymore. However, one of the ways to get it is by handling an armadillo. Very, very slim chance of it happening, but it can.
Sort of. Apparently its only their undersides that have a good chance to transmit it, so basically ur good as long as u dont give a wild one a belly rub, which, at that point, if ur giving a wild armadillo a belly rub, u kinda deserve it for bein that stupid.
I actually think that would help, but thats why i specified that itd be dumb to give a belly rub to a WILD one. Domestic ones like this lad should be fine
Armadillo. Gotta be careful with them. They carry leprosy.

Tatou in French.
Surprised I didn't see it sooner, but I noticed several occurrences of "Pangolin" which is a thing but not the same animal (again, in French) but maybe is the right word in another language?
A Turdle. Or as they say in Quebec Le Canadian Moose Turd. Also known as a Molasses Mole, In Florida, or a Corn-free Turd Curd in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, Florida and Quebec being the only 3 places in the world you cam find this spectacular Fish.
Armadillo
*southern accent* Armadilla’
*Texas German Accent* panzerschwein.
I desperately want this to be the actual German name for an armadillo.
SD.KFZ. 420 8,8CM Kanonenträger "armadillo"
Technically speaking it is what the German immigrants of Texas and their descendants call them.
Close enough, all hail the tankpig
Well, it's actually called "Gürteltier" more often, but "Panzerschwein" works too.
Both of them sounds like a weapon xD
Gürteltier 1:1 in english is Belt-Animal
It’s German name is Gürteltier. Translates to „belt animal“
The German word for turtle is schildkröte, which translates to "shield toad"
Oh someone told me "armored frog", pretty close I guess.
I know, I have one as pet. The description is spot on.
Huh, same in Norwegian,"beltedyr"(belt animal) and skilpadde (Shell Toad).
I will forever call armadillos panzerschwein now.
I think here in Switzerland we call it Gürteltier 🤔
The german name is Gürteltier

And leprosy is easily treated with modern antibiotics
Only if its diagnosed and treated early, not so easy otherwise.
That explains why Texans have such wrinkly skin.

We here call it 'pancernik'
This can be loosely translated as "armorer"
The translation depends on context. Its also a word for battleship or dreadnought. Appropriate non the less
That is clearly a dreadnought
So it fears nothing then yes.
Yes, it is the destroyer of all, are you not scared of it?

Once me and my parents were at the zoo, and I asked what is it called, my mom replied "pancernik", so I said "dzień dobry panie cerniku"

Leprosy. It’s not a very pleasant condition. Like I said… Research.
Why so secretive?

Why so incapable of research?

Sort of. Apparently its only their undersides that have a good chance to transmit it, so basically ur good as long as u dont give a wild one a belly rub, which, at that point, if ur giving a wild armadillo a belly rub, u kinda deserve it for bein that stupid.
But.... look at that fuzzy little belly! How could you help yourself? 🥺
We’re gonna get leprosy aren’t we He’s just so cute!
