Jack Rabbits and Armadillos
How come you never see a Jack Rabbit or an Armadillo in a zoo?
———- from Fawn Remington of Colorado Springs, CO
They’re there, but they’re disguised as other animals. Both Jack Rabbits and Armadillos lack the self esteem to simply be who they are in the presence of humans. If the zoo were only visited by other animals, then the Jack Rabbits would be all over the place, justifying their nickname as the “stand up comedians” of the animal kingdom. Armadillos, on the other hand, are brooding philosophers, often hiding in their shells for weeks as they come up with a new proof for the existence of God. Lately, I’ve noticed the armadillos disguise themselves as waste cans, or speed bumps in the zoo parking lot.
