We visited the
Booth Museum in Brighton & Hove today, it is full of stuffed birds and a variety of mammalian skeletons! One of the wierdest mammals we came across was the
Pink Fairy Armadillo, the wierdest part of the skeleton was this flat plate on the back end (which can be seen in some of these pictures!)
They are quite endangered and elusive, so pictures online are pretty scarce!
From some other museum, the specimen we saw was just the skeleton
Drawing, showing the plate on the rear end
They use their big front claws to dig
Just thought I'd share this odd critter with you all! ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=91.7){kind=small}
