And here I was thinking Tom Hank's volleyball
I saw that movie :) ; then there's the neighbor on the sit-com "Tool Time" "Home Improvement"; then there's Russel Wilson, the football player.

 
Aww how cute. I never really had much experience with being around armadillos.

That thing is SOOO cute! I grew up for the most part in Texas & I never saw any armadillos close-up like this one. I only saw them either scurrying a road or highway in front of a vehicle or squashed in or beside the road. :(
 
what kind of animal is that?
That is an Armadillo!

Approximately 20 species of armadillo exist, but the nine-banded is the only one found in the United States. The term “armadillo” means “little armored one” in Spanish, and refers to the presence of bony, armor-like plates covering their body. Despite their name, nine-banded armadillos can have 7 to 11 bands on their armor. A common misconception is that nine-banded armadillos can roll up into spherical balls. In reality, only two species of armadillo (both three-banded) are able to roll up completely. Nine-banded armadillos are about 2.5 feet (0.7 meters) long from the nose to the tip of the tail and weigh an average of 12 pounds (5 kilograms).
