Video shows armadillo loose downtown in Nebraska’s capital
2018-07-26
[MIAMIHERALD] Have you seen Abe the Armadillo? He got away from Nebraska police during a chase
"Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Be on the lookout for... uh... an armadillo."
The armadillo was running around downtown Lincoln, Nebraska, when police tried to catch the armored-critter.
"Roger, Lincoln One! Do you have a description?"
Officer Andrew Vocasek spotted the nine-banded armadillo while investigating the report of a suspicious vehicle early Tuesday morning, the Lincoln Journal-Star reported.
"I think I've got a fix on him, chief... No. Sorry. This one's got a mustache!"
Vocasek tried for a "positive police contact," but the armadillo "was having none of it," the Lincoln Police Department posted to twitter at about 3:45 a.m. Tuesday.
"This is the police! Drop the grubs and step away with your paws up!"
The department also posted a video of the armadillo running near 13th and O St., which is near several businesses, including Walgreens, Jimmy John’s and some banks.
"Hello, police? There's an armadillo staring in my bedroom window!"
"Does he have a mustache?"
"No..."
"There's an APB out on him! Try and occupy his attention till we get there, lady!"
"I'm already naked! What else can I do?"
"Try shakin' yer booty for him!"

#7  Crikey, that's cute. Guinea pig crossed with a shrimp, like. As to pork flavor, I misread (or was misled)... comment apparently applied to generic armadillos. Should've known. Not much meat on a fluffy five inch armadillo. Hmmm. Maybe in those claws forepaws?

#5  Was reading earlier that pink fairy armadillos, blessed with sensitive temperaments and delicate constitutions, are consequently challenged by a multitude of stresses and dangers. And then I read that they taste like pork. I almost cried... okay, I laughed.

#3  Armadillo = Possum with armor

Unlike Armadillos, Opossums don't get rabies very easily due to their low body temperature. Plus they (Possums) have immunity to the venom of rattlesnakes and other pit vipers.

And they're pretty tasty (you DO have to cook them for a bit).
