No, no, no. It's koala. Not koala bear.

Spav if you want to go on a koala kidnapping, bringing back to Chicago to let roam and procreate spree, I am TOTALLY willing to help out.

Bronto, apparently, they do carry it but you're unlikely to catch it. Unless you eat armadillo sushi. Maggie? Prankadillo? Made my day.

Komodo Dragons, son! Its all about the Komodos! And if you are being chased by one, you better not run straight!

Can't you catch leprosy form those, or is this another urban myth?

I did a report on armadillos when I was in elementary school. =)

my friend said "koala bears are super dope." but they really are vicious mothers. super mean. hey, if you were chawing on halls all day, wouldn't you be, too?

Armadillos! I love those things! I visited a friend in Missouri once, and I guess there were a lot of Armadillos, everywhere. I would see a dead one on the side of the road sometimes. She told me that if you scared them, sometimes they'd jump pretty high and run away. Also, I heard that Koala bears, even though they are cute, are actually assholes. They bite and attack.

Koala bears are so cute and cuddly. I wish they were indigenous to where we are.

Coyotes, cougars and now armadillos, all making their way towards Chicago. Is anybody, perchance, building an ark that I should know about?
