ONCE UPON A TIME...
As his 1,200-pound body is held to the surface of the water, his movement sensitive whiskers call his attention towards an odd animal floating in the water nearby. As he begins to swim up to 24 miles per hour, his external ear canal picks up on a small, sharp cry coming from the animal.
|
The Leopard Seal can sense that the animal is helpless and now points his stomach towards the creature, getting ready to attack. He has now been underwater for close to 10 minutes and must come up for air soon. It’s now or never. He rushes towards the creature and grabs the creature with his powerful jaws, only to discover that the creature comes prepared with a bony-plated shell with spiky scales.
|
The Leopard Seal immediately lets go and looks above the water to discover a Giant Armadillo, curled up inside of its shell, floating across the water. The Giant Armadillo has sensed an attack and begins to move its legs to attempt to burrow like it does in its natural habitat, but finds that, unfortunately, it can not.
