My wife's first night after moving to Texas: I'm driving her home from the airport to our apartment, it's pretty dark already. About 30 feet away from our parking space, I see something scampering towards us, so I stop. "Oh look! An armadillo!" I exclaim.
My wife, absolutely stunned, watches and then loudly asks, "WAIT, THOSE THINGS ARE REAL?! I thought they were made up our mythical!"
Her only knowledge of armadillos was from Friends, when Ross dresses up as "the Holiday Armadillo," because all the Santa costumes were taken. Chandler's unfamiliarity and it being used as a substitute for Santa and... Well, I can see how the math adds up.
Anyway, her shock and wonder, as though she'd just seen a unicorn, is a memory I'll always cherish.

Why did this take 116 years? Are breeding couples uncommon? Do they not breed in captivity? Do they have the longest pregnancy in the animal world?
Yes, the mother gives birth after being dead for 95 years.
Just as I suspected!
I hate that the existence of AI has forced me to look into this to make sure it's real.
It doesn't even need AI, they straight up look like clay figures
Baby better be called Coconut
I am so sorry to report that the pup has been named Segway. (Parents are Vespa and Scooter; so this follows a family tradition).
"Pokeball" would be my choice. Or "Pikachu I chose you" but it's too long.
That's a little bakugan boi
