I dreamed I was walking in the desert, and came across and giant armadillo.  Only it wasn’t really an armadillo.  It was more like some ancient plated dinosaur predecessor of an armadillo, as big as a medium sized dog with a long armored tail that stretched suspended over the arid ground as the animal walked.

It was a pangolin.  In the same order, Xenarthra, with armadillos, sloths and anteaters, pangolins are solitary, nocturnal and eat ants and termites.  They’re also threatened because their armor plates are thought to be of medicinal value.

Talk at me
