An armadillo takes a dip on a hot summer night

Did you know that armadillos like the water? We had no idea until one of our cameras caught this little guy taking a dip in a water dish to cool off one hot Texas night. First he just cooled his toes, but that must have felt so good he soon decided that a real dunking was in order.

We’ve done a little reading now and have learned that armadillos are good swimmers and can even walk along the bottom of a stream or pond for several minutes.

  1. I love this! Armadillos can be so funny to watch, they always seem as if they’re in their own little world.

    1. They do. They bumble around with their noses to the ground and seem oblivious to most of what goes on around them.
