Let me know what you thought of this podcast! Send a text.
This week, we’re investigating a very curious creature—one that wears armor, digs like a champ, and somehow waddled its way into Texas history books. Yep, we’re talking about the nine-banded armadillo—the official state mammal of Texas!
Zoe's got questions (like… why not a horse or cow?!), and we’ve got answers. Discover how this tough little underdog became a Texas icon, learn about armadillo races (yes, really!), and find out what makes this armored oddball so special.
