Armadillos: They can give you leprosy, but they can also MELT YOUR HEART.

This particular armadillo is still just a baby, and goes by “Rollie,” after what looks to be his favorite playtime activity. Rollie is currently housed at the NEW Zoo and Adventure Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where this footage was captured.

And for those wondering, Rollie is leprosy-free. The only species of armadillo known to carry leprosy is the nine-banded armadillo. Rollie here is a three-banded armadillo.
