Baby armadillo rolls up into world's cutest ball

8/23/2012

Florida’s Busch Gardens Animal Park has debuted a baby armadillo the size of a tennis ball -- and that's twice the size it was when it was born two months ago. Curled up and looking a bit like a dinosaur crossed with a potato, the baby armadillo is the cutest thing (with scales) we've ever seen. This species of armadillo curls up into a ball when startled; we hope zookeepers are restraining themselves from hopping out from behind bushes and yelling "boo!" to watch it curl up like a little roly-poly. The park is currently accepting suggestions for a name; we suggest "Dr. Get-In-My-Pocket."
