Vulture with glasses: When it comes to animal conservation, where do you stand? Vulture: Middle of the road. Vulture with glasses: Yeah, me too.
" I don’t know why politicians claim to be a middle of the road candidate; there’s nothing in the middle of the road but yellow paint and dead armadillos." Jim Hightower
Armadillos’ natural defense works against them. When attacked by coyote, they wait until the last instant and jump straight up. The coyote runs right under them. By the time it can turn around, the armadillo has either run off, or dug into the ground. Unfortunately, against a car or truck, jumping puts them right into the bumper when otherwise it would have straddled right over them without harm.
