I got to pet an armadillo once at a grade school assembly. It was neat, really warm and leathery.
Can confirm! Held one recently at this crazy place that had all sorts of animals for huggin’. We don’t have ‘roos here but you bet my ass was huggin a ‘roo. What the fuck is a binturong? Fuckin adorable, and huggable. Consider it hugged. Porcupine?
…well, that one I just pet. Didn’t realize you can just pet them. And they’re like 4x bigger than I expected from movies. V v sweet tho. I also only pet the capybaras. They didn’t look like they wanted to be hugged. Too chill for hugs.
Now that I think about it, there was also a porcupine at the event with the armadillo. As long as you pet in the direction the quills lay, you're fine. Pet the other way... well, I didn't try it but I don't think the outcome would be very comfortable.
Absolutely! I also learned that they can’t shoot/fling their quills out, which I thought they could do for most of my life!
