I live in the South where I see dead Armadillos on the road quite often.
1_Wizard
Me too. I see that all the time. All species of armadillo are native to the Americas, so we wouldn't be having this conversation if we were European.

I have heard that they may be carriers of several different diseases that are harmful to people. 
1_Wizard
I've heard that too, though that's probably the case only with certain species, of which there are at least 21 extant.

When I was in high school in Central Florida, our science teacher picked up one off the road and cooked it in the class so he could save the skeleton.

Wow, that's dedication! Where in Central Florida? I've spent more time in South Florida, since my in-laws live there.

I was in Lakeland.  The teacher used it as a teaching aid, but it made a terrible smell throughout the building while he was cooking it.

That's east of Tampa, right? I bet that teacher got in trouble with the administrators.
