Well, I live in the sticks.  I see opossums and especially armadillos 
belly up all the time.  They look like those animal balloons.  lol  
Their little feet stuck up in the air and all.  If you ever run across 
one of those, do NOT poke it with a stick.  It can be bad real fast.

I just wish hard drives were as tough as the armadillos tho.
