That's a tapir, if you were wondering.

This week began with everyone's favorite festival of corporate greenwashing, Earth Day. Remember, the idea of individual actions reducing pollution is a creation of Big Single-Use Plastic. That's the topic of our sister quiz from Throughline, so go take it — it's not easy! — then come back and ace this one.

    Introduction to Nine-banded Armadillos
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    Armadillos are mammals with no close relatives and a fossil record that dates back millions of years.All are well-protected above by stout plates and scale-like structures but with narrow bands on the back that allow them to quickly curl up to protect their underside. They have many peg-like teeth that are continuously growing, and no teeth at the front of the mouth. Thus you don’t need to worry about being bitten.An armadillo’s legs are very strong and they are master diggers -- especially in sandy soils. They dig to find food and also to make shallow burrows where they shelter during hot days. They are somewhat gregarious and active mostly at night. Yes, they may dig holes in your yard, but the holes tend to be shallow and a cheap price to pay for an evening of watching them greatly reduce harmful insect populations-- and then they are likely to move on.
