Armadillo

Posted Aug 26 2008 1:34pm

What do you do when an armadillo shows up in your dream? Random ~ I know ~ but not so random considering I am a Native Texan and I am the proud owner of an armadillo purse! Until I looked up some info on these prehistoric looking creatures I never knew there were so many types of them. I am pretty certain that I have only seen one species ~ the nine banded armadillo which happens to be the state small mammal of Texas.



I remember seeing a special about bizarre facts about animals and the armadillo was mentioned. This is absolutely fascinating ~
"Although breeding occurs in July, the embryo remains in a dormant state until

November. Four young are born in a burrow in March. All four young, always of

the same sex, are identical quadruplets and developed from the same egg. They even share a single placenta while in the womb. Armadillos are the only mammals

in which multiple young form from a single egg with any regularity. "
This post is random ~ I know ~ but I have a point. I looked up the meaning of the armadillo totem and it symbolizes boundaries, being grounded and self protection. I could use a good dose of being grounded and protected!
