53 - Nine-Banded Armadillo

La-da-da, la-da-da, what's that?

That's the first time I've ever heard you sing in a happy mood today.

La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, is that a song?

Yeah, it's re-working of UnBlue by I-465.

I-465. Do you remember that?

UnBlue, da-ba-da-da, and there's always...

Everyone has a theory of what da-ba-da-da-da I mean.

Nothing, I think. I saw like a breakdown of it recently.

We always used to think it was like, if I were blue, I would die.

No, if I was green, I would die.

If I was green, I would die. Because he is blue.

That's sorry, as a blue house.

The other one is blue, I will bleed, I will die.

It was one that people said, I will bleed, I will die.

But more likely, it was the 90s and it was nonsense.

I would love...

I think, actually, you know what it is.

I watched this video the other day, and I'm trying to recall the fact.

I think they wanted something that would work in multiple languages.

You know, they just... you know, it sounds.

Double-D, double-D, double-D, double-D

We're gonna reach for a lot of HPC's here

With every animal ever

And it'll take us 15 million years

With every animal ever

Womps to start with the interesting ones

With every animal above

And if we get bored then we will probably stop

With every animal, every animal above

Oh, welcome nature nerds to every animal ever

My name's Zach Mander, I'm joined by my co-host

Dr. C's a huge marine wildlife guy

Happy to be here

He's got the doctorate on the wall

To support the fact

I definitely don't

In theory, metaphorically

If I had it on the wall, it would be on the wall

We're crossing off every animal

Ever each episode a new animal

We are past 50 now

Watch out, we're breaking the back of this thing

53

That's you could listen a week for a year

Yeah, and have enough episodes

So we're halfway through

We spoke about Dr. C's qualifications

We're halfway through your qualification

If you have listened to all 50 odd animals

Because once we get to 100

If you can prove through some type of quiz

That we haven't developed yet

If you can prove that you've listened to them all

You will get some type of qualification

Yes

So is it legally binding?

Well, yeah, of course it is

Great

But it's not legally binding

It won't have the show

Yes, necessarily

I would like someone to include it on their resume

If it, top billing on a CV would be great

You could put it in like special interest area

I think so

You know like hobbies

No, no qualifications

Definitely under qualifications and certificates

You could technically

We've got to figure out what we're going to call the qualification

Do you get what I mean?

Yeah

We'll work on that

Is it a certificate for?

Is that a legally binding?

I think we can give out

I don't even think we can give a certain one

What's a certain one?

I don't know what any of the sets are

Could imagine if we could do a certain one

Zero that

A certain zero

Zero 0.5

I want to know, is there such things as a certain one?

I've only ever found a certificate for what?

It's like a year long course at TAFE, isn't it?

Yeah, I think so

Presumably

Best set for set three

I know set three is a surely a certain one

Whatever, if that exists

Which it has to

Yeah, we're going to look into it

God, if we could get an accredited certain one

That would be awesome

But we are getting one hundredth of the way there today

With a brand new animal

Dr. Caesar, what is it?

Today's animal is the nine-banded armadillo

Oh

Yeah

Now, is this just the armadillo?

Or is this a particular subspecies?

It's not a subspecies, it's a full species

Of about like the 20 or so species of armadillo

That occur in between North and South America

So is it just an armadillo?

And they've unbeknownst to me

To all this moment, they've all been called the nine-banded

There are lots of different types of armadillos

They're eight-banded and a seven-banded

Oh, there are three-banded, there are fairy armadillos

There are lots of different types of armadillos

What I know about armadillos

Yes

Well, they're one of their

I'd put those in a category of a childhood animal

Because they

Led themselves to the cartoon world

Yeah

You know, like the porcupine

Or in Australia, the kidna

They're the type of animal

That seems like a child might have come up with

Where they roll up into a ball, don't they?

Some armadillos do, the nine-banded doesn't

Sorry

But we can talk about that

So there's three-banded

No, but the coolest thing about an armadillo

And you pick the one that doesn't do it

You could pick any animal

I don't think

You could have picked the cool armadillo

I don't think that's the only cool thing about armadillos

Okay, anyway

Well, let's not go into the rolling

Because then we're going to have nothing to talk about

With the three-banded armadillo

That's true

So you don't want to hear about the rolling up in a ball

Give it to me briefly

Okay

Ready now, appetites for later when we do the three-banded armadillos

Hopefully the three-banded armadillo isn't in the first 100 now

I don't think we can have two armadillos

Okay

Anyway

I hope you haven't planned it for the next episode

That's too many armadillos

How many armadillos

And then it would be the two-band armadillo

Which is pretty funny

The, well look, at risk of burning a huge amount of gear

The three-banded armadillo rolls into a ball

And its tail and head plates will join up

So they're both high angles

It's so much like the Transformers toys you had as a kid

Yeah

Or as some of us had

You didn't have Transformers toys in that

Why not?

Oh, maybe I did

No, I had the animal ones

That's animals

Oh no, no, it's not that some

Beast Wars

Beast Wars, yeah, that was cool

I loved Beast Wars

I remember in grade 2 I got Rat Trap, who was my favorite

Oh nice

And I took him to school which was ill-advised

And I lost his blaster on the playground

On my birthday

If you've seen it, let us know

It's funny now, I'm thinking back on it

I'm pretty sure I was playing with that by myself

On the playground, on my birthday

And that's not a sad memory

And I'm thinking about now, I'm like

Should it be?

Should it have been a sad memory?

Right in about the moments in your life

Where you realized you were autistic

And that's not true

No, I don't think I'm autistic

But I haven't done a test

The

I don't even remember where we were talking about

Oh, Beast, Beast Wars

That's right

No, I mean, Beast Wars was good

That was in the Transformers universe

But it was like

It was an early CGI

Our kind of version

It was in the

Probably the late 1990s

I always wanted, I think there was a polar bear

You could get, but it was like a big one

And it was like really cool

Anyway

Yeah, so the word armadillo comes from

The Spanish for Little Armored One

And it would probably be pronounced armadillo

Because there's two else

How do I make it?

Is it

Central America, you said?

Between North and South America

Through Central America

And so they're just a group of

Sort of ground dwelling armor-plated mammals

It's cool, they're armor

They-

What can it withstand?

Oh, that I don't know

Teeth from predecessor shoes

Teeth, yeah, probably shit like that

There was a story

Oh, you know what?

No, I don't know

There is an article online

On the BBC

That is

Texas man injured his bullet ricochets off armadillo

Oh, a bullet

Yeah

Whoa

That must be tough

Yeah, the article goes on to say

A man in Texas has been wounded

After bullet, he fired an armadillo

Ricocheted and hit him in the head

Oh, the man who- the guy who shot the bullet

It came back at him

It bounced off, yeah

This is real cartoon stuff

Yes, as um-

Woo

Yeah, they call that Carmadillo

Aaaaay

Very good stuff

Not my joke

But yeah, so they obviously-

They are very strong armoured plates

Basically, they're-

They composed of a helmet

So they have a helmet

They have shoulder guards

They have like a plate over their back

And over their tail

And they have a little bit of plating over their limbs as well

Now these guys don't roll up though

These don't roll up

So they go flat

Like how do they-

Or is that armoured already in place

Yeah, so the arm is already in place

They do have those

So the banding

refers to like the section in the middle

So you know, like they kind of look accordion

Uh, accordion

So they have like the big plate on their shoulder

And the big plate on the back

There's a accordion

Quite exact

No, I think it's just allows for good movement

So, um

Let's do top five animal armors

Uh, turtles

Yeah, they're up there

Yeah

I would put spikes

A kidnap hope upon their both in there

So that's three

Armouredillo that rolls up

That's in there

I'm not putting this guy

Really?

I don't think so

Because I think the rolled up one takes its place

Yeah, but

This one ricocheted bullet and hit a dude in the head

Like it's not pretty good

Not the rolled up one

No

Okay, they both go spot in

That's the top five

Can you think of another one that would rival it

Oh, I guess you'd think crabs

Crab

See anything with a carapace

What was there?

Any

Like, is there a really strong one?

Crab's pretty strong

Uh, like shingleback lizards

They have those

Like kind of armor plating

I've never seen that before

Um, I'd just to go back into what the armor is

So they're what's called

ossified dermal scoots

So underneath their skin

They have these like really hard scoots

They're almost like they're ossified

So they're really bone-like

And then on the outside of it

They have keratinized

Epidermal scales

And so in between

Is that like nails

Uh, no

What's what a nails made out of

Oh, right, sorry

For some reason my head I immediately went to like

A metal nail that you'd use for construction

Yeah, fingernails

Yeah, yeah, sure

Keratin, keratin

So

We kind of have armor in our fingers

In a way

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool

It's hard to deflect a bullet

From your nails, those hand

Um, apes have nails, right?

Yeah

Interesting

Why is that interesting?

It's just a funny thing to develop

When you think about it

It's just like a claw that you probably use

For scratching yourself

Is it a claw?

Yeah

Okay, well in that case

That it's pretty lame

Because they're not very good as claws

Where we have terrible claws, yeah

But they also protect our fingertips

Yeah, right?

Probably a little bit

Oh, so you, hang on

So that's what I thought they were for

Protecting your fingertips

But are you saying that they're, they're poor claws

Yeah, and so therefore like they don't

Um

If we were to get rid of them

It wouldn't really matter

Probably not

Yeah, really

I'm speculating a little bit

I'm speculating a little bit

But I suspect that

For the use that we have for fingers now

Where we're using them more for like

Pre-hension and grabbing

Also tactile stuff

That the

Finger nail portion is a very little use

Well, I lost my big toenail once

Um, I dropped a skateboard

Grined rail on it

Yeah

In kind of a cartoony fashion actually

Because I was dropping it over a fence

But I didn't realize that my feet had gone under the fence

So I just dropped it onto my feet

And then you lost it

Ah, it inflated huge

Oh cool

And then um, so it was like huge

And discolored like bruised

And then I continued skateboarding

Because I just

Couldn't stop

Yeah

And I hit it again

And I took off my shoe

And I was like oh, it's gone back to normal

And so it had like popped

Oh, gross

But because it had inflated so much

And this is a little bit

This is uh

If you are a little touchy on toenails

Then skip ahead a minute

Uh, because it had

Just a skip before the bit where the accident is

To explode inside of the shoe

But you can take that back in time

Because that would be great

Because it had like inflated a little bit

That toenail was now loose

And just came off in one piece

Which is pretty weird

But it took so long for it to grow back

Like probably the better half of it

Like a half, three quarters of a year

But I can tell you that

Your toenail is doing a lot

To help you from like

Kicking things, dropping things on your toes

Like it protects you

A whole lot more than I realised

Yeah

So I disagree

I think it is doing something

And much like the blaster

From the transformer

If you do see

The x-toe now let us know

Yeah, I wonder that blaster still

That playground still there

Yeah, it could be

Oh, because it is plastic

That is not going anywhere

No, it will last us

The uh, so yeah

They have these flexible

Bands of skin in between the scoots

And can you guess how many

Bands this armadillo has

The nine banded armadillo

Yeah

Three

No

Bucco

Nine

Uh, it can do

Seven to eleven

Should be called the Seven to eleven

If I'm a tiller

Yeah

This weird that they just went

Let's just go in the middle

Split those

Split it

Roughly nine

Yeah

Approximately nine

On average

Nine

Yeah

It should be called the

Most of the time

Nine banded armadillo

That's funny how animals do that as well

Hey, because I've been watching

Blue banded bees lately

And um, I think you can tell

Actually males and females

From how many bands are out

But it's funny how like

They don't all have the same

I guess like we don't all have the same hair

And stuff like that

So this variation

Totally yeah, there's always

Bits of little bits of phenotypic variation

So the

This armadillo

The nine banded armadillos

The only one found in the United States

Out of the 20 or so

And arid kind of areas

It depends I've seen them in Costa Rica

I've seen a nine banded armadillo

And that's tropical

Of the armadillo

Yeah, so

So they originally

They originated in South America

And basically stayed there

Until what's called

The formation of the isthmus of Panama

Which is the thing that sort of connects

South America and North America

So the portion in Central America

The connects are two

And this was during a period called the

So this started a thing

Called the Great American Interchange

Oh no what where North and South

Kind of

Did Pokemon traits

Basically

That's not a bad way of explaining it

So it's called the Great American Interchange

Also known as the Great American

Faunal Interchange

And this is called

So it's an important part of the

Cinezoic

Paleo-Zogeographical

Biotic Interchange Event

Which is about 2.7

Million years ago

And animals from South America

That was originally connected to Australia

via Gondwana

So had marsubils and things like that

And it had like big cats and whatever

And it upjoined to North America

But from Australia

Well that's not where they got those animals from

But we were connected

Oh previously

Yeah yeah so

I mean there's a lot of movement going around

With those giant continents and stuff

So yeah basically this volcanic

Isthmus of Panama just rose up from the sea floor

And created this land bridge between these two

In what time period did it

That would be like

Oh how long did it take to raise

That would be like a million years

Yeah very long time

Yeah right

Not overnight

But I thought that was interesting

Because that's also how North America

Got its marsubils

Oh by possums

Is that the only one?

In North America potentially

Oh no no technically

I think that the the woolly opossum

Is also technically in North America

Not in the United States maybe

But yeah

But I'm thinking about this land bridge rising up

And you know it takes a million years or whatever

But is there a moment

Where it becomes

Walkable

They're probably years right

Like now

What do you mean

Like you know it takes so long to rise up

Oh no probably what it is is like

Because it doesn't do it evenly

Imagining a bridge

Like a flat bed

And then just like one year

It's like

It just cracks the surface of the water

And it's like ever and over

But it'd be like little islands

And they would slowly connect

Correct

Yeah

Yeah that's less fun

I'm thinking of like you know

When the council's working on a bridge for years

And you're like when's this going to open

It's like it's been taking them ages

It's taken a million years

And then suddenly they have like a ribbon cutting ceremony

It's like all the armadillos come on over

Everyone walking over at once

Well no that'd be crossing over

Yeah

Yeah like high-fiving in the middle

And probably a lot of them had started swimming

Beforehand

Oh yeah because you could island hop hay

That's how a lot of them would do it

It's like you can swim

Not across the ocean

But you can swim

A kilometer to the next island

And we know that armadillos can cross bodies of water

In two ways

Oh tell me how

Way number one is that they sink to the bottom

And they just run along the floor

How do they breathe

They hold their breath for up to six minutes

Oh that's cool

So they're just like you could be snorkeling under water

And just an armadillo running on the floor of the

That would be a great way to travel

I would love to run on the floor

Do you ever try to run on the floor in the ocean

Because it's a way to train

For big waves

This is like an old time

I think

I'm thinking

I don't want to misattribute it

But I think it might have developed in the islands

Like Hawaii

And you'd grab a big rock

And you sink to the bottom

And you run across the bottom with a big rock

Yeah

Have you ever tried doing that?

I've tried like with weight belts and stuff

To be on the floor

It's pretty cool to walk along the bottom

Yeah

But it's hard to hold your breath obviously

Yeah

I'm spending so much energy at the same time

Yeah so that's cool

And so what's the other way?

The other way is they breathe in a lot of air

And then they inflate

They're in testines and float across like a balloon

That seems like the battleway

Yeah

It seems less directed though

That's really cool both of them though

I wish we were

Because it seems like they're able to control

If they float or sink

Yeah

It's harder for us to do that

It is hard

Yeah

There's um

They're also really good

They're not only good at swimming

They're really good at jumping

Really?

Yeah

So if you think about like

So in an average 9 down at Armadillo

It was between like 2.5

To like 6.5 kilograms

So like the heaviest

Get up to 10 kilograms

So they're pretty big

How long?

With tail or without tail?

Without

Without tail they're 38 to 58 centimeters

About that

And then with the tail

They're 64 to 1 meter

About that

That's a good meter I reckon

So they're that big

And then they but they 10 kilograms

But they can not nothing

So but they're short right

So they stand from 15 to 25 centimeters

So they're short and long

Yeah

That's very low

Yeah

So they're really low and flat

And flat and long

So that's why they don't have to do

Well that's why they don't have to do the ball

I guess

They stay flat

Yeah

But here's the thing

All I've got more about that in a second

Here's the thing

They can jump between 91 and 120 centimeters

Wow

And like kind of off the hind legs

Just like straight in the air

Really good when frightened

That's good

Which is the equivalent of a 2 meter

Human jumping 10 meters in the air

They are very cartoony aren't they

It's like where they get

You know when a cat gets surprised

Yes

There's like boy

So it's a good way to avoid predators and stuff

When do you think it would be a bad thing

Is it a good way to avoid predators

Cause like you jump up in the air for a second

Then you're back in the exact same spot

We might scare

You can see your suckers

And then boing

And it's like oh damn it

It's like seeing a tiger and running away

But you just running the circle

And then you end up

Oh

When would it be bad

I guess if there's something above them

Like a roof or

Like a bird who was trying to catch him

Oh when they get hit by cars

Oh yeah

Cause

If you just stay low

What they don't know is

You could probably just go under the car

Yeah and so what often happens is

You'll drive over like a truck or a car

So you'll drive over them and then they'll just

Rock at themselves

And it can be really dangerous

Cause I guess they can go through like

Windshields and stuff

And they

Oh yeah imagine if it

Jumped up beforehand

And it was like windshield height

That would be really bad

Kangaroos have a similar problem

Yeah exactly

But often what will happen is

That they'll

Jump into the undercarriage of the car

Or the front fender

And just go

And obviously

And they're bulletproof

Yeah cause a lot of issues to the car

As well as probably killing the animal

Does it kill them or are they able to survive that

Because of their armor

They get killed by a lot of

Like by a lot of them hit by cars

Yeah

My sad

That is it

They're largely insectivores

So they eat

I figured

Ants, termites, grasshoppers

I looked at it and I'm like

That thing eats insects for sure

Yeah

But also what's funny is

Is that like they're listed as eating

Carians

Like roadkill and dead things and stuff

Although they think that

Potentially

They're just attracted to the maggots

Yep

Fair enough

Buffay

Maggett Buffay

Yeah

Like sprinkles

That's what I'd be doing

Um

They are extensive burrowers

Which we know you love

I do love that

Big burrows

Or just like a little

Cause I'm imagining a shallow one

Where they just like kind of hide

Apparently they can manage up to 12 burrows

But in their range

But

You were saying they don't

Go into balls

So what they do instead

Is apparently they'll really quickly

Dig a really short burrow

And they just bury themselves in

That's not a bad way of doing it

So they lodge themselves inside

So

Kind of almost like the um

The wombat does similar

With like just sticking its head

In the

The entrance to a burrow

And it's got a rock hard ass

The plugs, the exit

Hell yeah

Um

The

Don't we all

Don't we just get

When you have that rock hard ass

Um

The

They were eating a lot during the

Great Depression in America

Interesting

What

Uh

I think it's hard to figure out

What type of animal they'd be like

So um

They're not a bird

Yeah

If they're not like um

Bovine

They're not bovine

And they taste like

So basically

So I think actually

They're northern migration

Into say like Texas

So they're the the the mammal

I think for the

Like the emblem of Texas

Is the Armadillo

But then I think they were also

Considered maybe an invasive species

For periods

Because they were like migrating north

But during the Great Depression

They were hunted extensively

In East Texas

Because no one had any food

And that's where they got the nickname

For the poor man's pork

Ah

There you go

Yeah

Or also called the Hoover Hog

And was there an issue eating it

It was like safe to eat

Uh yeah

Except that they carry leprosy

Well so not so much

So yeah

How would leprosy

Because leprosy can be

Transferred by touch, can't it

It wasn't that the whole thing of the leprosy

Having to be separated from the communities

Yeah so there's a bit about that

So leprosy um

So yeah

So Armadillo's do carry leprosy

They're the I think they're the only known

Non-human animal in the Americas

That carries the bacteria

That is leprosy

So uh

And that's because they have

A quite a relatively low body temperature

Which uh makes them an ideal host for that bacteria

But like so leprosy

If you don't know

Also known as Hanson's disease

Is a uh

Is sort of a chronic infection

By a two bacteria

So mycobacterium leprie

And mycobacterium lepromatosis

And it causes sort of damage to nerves

And respiratory tissue

And eyes and ears

And sort of

Well what happens is you get this nerve damage

And it reduces what's called no-susception

So your ability to feel things

Which

Ends up leading to you

Losing body parts effectively

Because you're not nice

Your extremities

Get uh

Continuously infected

And have injuries

And you maybe don't recognize

That it's happening

And after a while

Bits of you start falling off

And it is spread through touch

So you can you could

Hypothetically get leprosy

From touching a

Armadillo

And armadillo

But it needs to be extensive contact

So it's incredibly rare

And actually

Most transmissions

God, it can be given at a bit of a tickle

Yeah, like leprosy is not highly contagious

Like a lot of

No, it's not highly infected

And a lot of that

Like treatment of what we'd call lepers

Back in the day was

It wasn't leprosy

It was leprosy

But in reality

Like there was a lot of

What's the word

Like sort of

A lot of fear around it

That probably wasn't

Yeah, it wasn't merited

And in fact like most of it

Was spread through

Like respiratory particles

More so than touch

So what they say is that

Like it has low pathogenicity

So it has a low ability to transfer

And 95 for the people

Who contracted

Or who were exposed to

The leprosy

Don't actually develop the disease

Oh, wow

Yeah, so the thing is

Probably spread through like coughs

Or contact with like nasal fluid

From someone who's infected

And it's very curable

Like these days

Yeah, leprosy

That's good

What is it like a

Lots of antigenics

Multimodal

Oh, yeah, bacteria, right

Yeah

Yeah, so but they do carry leprosy

So you do have to kind of be careful

Because you don't want to

It's that an issue for like

If you were to work

Because you know, you treat animals that

Have been injured in the wild here

We don't have armadilis

But if you had your own job in central

Or even South America

Would that be something

That you'd have to be conscious of

I guess so

You know what's funny

Is that

The wildlife hospital that I worked in

Costa Rica during vet school

They often treat armadillos

I did not

Tree anywhere I was there

I saw one in the garden

That I was living in

Actually, I was on the phone to Hannah one night

And

I was like

There's something in the bush

And then I was like on the FaceTime with hand

And I was like

What is that

And I like turn on my torch

And there's an armadillo

In my little bit

I actually think we have the video

Is that the video we put in one of our videos

Yeah, it is

It's one of the hell this thing is

That's a nine-banded armadillo

So if you want to see what that looks

Oh yeah

Go on our Instagram

And look up our

Our little like TV titles video

That we did

Introducing the podcast

But it was such an exciting experience

And they didn't say like

Hey, steer clear of the armadillos

No, no point where they like

Don't ever pick up an armadillo

Here, do you have to be careful of any animals

Like a bat

I think they have hendro virus

Sometimes don't they

Yeah, hendro viruses

Or transmitted

From bats to humans

It's transmitted through horses

So yeah, a bat can transmit

Hendro door horses

Very rare

But it's a very dangerous disease

So you actually have to be more careful

Treating horses

In bat areas

Also very easy to vaccinate

Horses, vandrovirus

But bats

And I think we've spoken about this before

Like extensively on the

Vampire Bat episode

But bats in Australia

Can carry

Australian bat list of virus

Which is basically rabies
