Zoo Exhibit Damaged by Fire-Setting Suicidal Armadillo Reopens

[Lizard]

The Indianapolis Zoo is reopening the Critter Corner, an exhibit that was damaged in a November fire. The fire began when an armadillo apparently pushed combustible material or bedding too close to a heat lamp. The armadillo, three turtles, two birds, a snake and other small animals died in the fire.

You Texas folks can vouch for the fact that armadillos aren't known for their high intelligence, so I'm feeling a little pissed this story doesn't point out that MAYBE some human caretaker could've noticed the height of the heat lamp was potentially problematic. What, they don't have someone there knowledgeable about armadillos? "It's some kind of turtle. I'll give it some lettuce and lower the heat lamp."

Try not to run over one, or if you can't avoid, hit him with your tire. Armadillos tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and will hit the undercarriage of your vehicle and cause damage.

How about we try not to hit Armadillos for the simple fact of not killing them. As apposed to saving damage on our car...

Guess you have never had your yard torn up again and again by a dillo. They come out at night and pretty much match the color of the pavement. They are hard to see until the last moment. I would never willingly run over an animal, however it is known, here in Texas, a dillo will take your oil pan out.

My eyes are playing tricks on me......I keep reading dildo where you typed dillo. Made me wonder what sort of dildos y'all have in Texas. :surprised:

"Goddammit, I ran over another dildo and blew out the oil pan! Would you talk to your mother about putting her fucking sex toys away, Ralph?"

Now I have the fucking giggles again.

Now I have the fucking giggles again.

Yeah, I just made myself hyperventilate. Thinking about those goddamn dildos tearing up my yard! Somewhere here we can bring in picnic-table-fucking man, but I'm giggling too hard to work it out in my head.

Interesting place......dildos ripping up the lawn and the men folk out on the deck buck naked fucking the patio table while the umbrellas glare at them from the garage! Yee Haw I'm going to Texas for my next vacation. I have to get me one of them oil pan damaging dildos! :he:

lol... sorry, I came off wrong. I just hate seeing any animal get killed.

Its like raccoons here in Iowa, they damn things are all over the place in the Summer time. And the little bastards love to sit right in the middle of the highway. I prefer not to hit them, and if possible will slow down, but given the choice between me and the raccoon... I'm living.

I just don't like it when people intentionally hit animals, for the sake of killing them. I've been in the car with a kid I used to go to school with who literally swerved to the other side of the road to hit a raccoon. That pisses me off, big time.
