Now this is something you don’t see every day.... an armadillo swimming! Did you know that armadillos love to swim? Because of their heavy shells, they don’t float well, but they can gulp air into their intestines, making them more buoyant. They can dog-paddle at the surface, or walk along the bottom of streams or ponds, holding their breath for 4-6 minutes! Video credit: Park Host Kacey | Inks Lake State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife
