Salva-dillo: From the Archives...


USULATAN PROVINCE--We turned from the main highway down a narrow, two-lane road that until only a few years ago had been a dirt track that often washed out during the rainy season leaving the coast cut off from the rest of the world. We saw these two boys playing with their pet, perhaps future dinner, and I asked the driver to stop. The armadillo didn't seem all that happy with the attention, would most likely have been off doing whatever it is that armadillos do, but he posed politely anyway.

I actually thought for a long time that such animals were only in fairy tales.

Yes, the wicked armadillo and her three armadillo step-daughters that keep princess armadillo locked in a tower, right?

Right, so you have that one in the States too?
