RE: THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 12 - ARMADILLO
the only animal that very scary for me is the Armadillos because it's the only known other animals besides humans to host the leprosy bacillus.
I believe that sloths and chimpanzees can also carry some form of leprosy.
yes definitely, but Armadillos cause spike in leprosy cases in Florida for the pass 2 years. Experts said they believe the spike is because of people coming into contact with armadillos.
I read somewhere a long time ago that because armadillos have litters of 4 genetically identical babies of the same gender, they provide the perfect animal for leprosy research.
