Forrest Gump's mama
always said, "life

is like a box of chocolates.

You never know what
you're going to get."

But when it comes to
a bowl full of worms,

I'll tell you exactly
what you're going to get,

one adorable little armadillo.

Get ready to meet Daisy.

Oh, she's strong.

Oh, and those claws are sharp.

There you go.

Oh, there's the bowl of worms!

All you have to do
is plug the armadillo

into the bowl of worms,
and as you can see,

it is a feeding frenzy.

Now, they don't have any
sharp teeth up front.

Believe it or not, they
have a tooth structure

that's really similar to
that of a three-toed sloth,

these little nub teeth in
the back of their mouths.

But they're excellent
at burrowing,

and that is where they
search for the food.

Now, they are opportunistic.

And as you can see right here,
that's quite the opportunity,

a bowl full of giant--

oh, just let me borrow
one for a second here!

I'm not going to eat it.

Don't you worry.

Look at that night-crawler,
pure protein for this armadillo.

Now, she's going to absolutely
mow through this bowl of worms.

Can I take some here?

Let's see if we can do this.

What if I put one in
my mouth and we do

like the "Lady and the Tramp."

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, let's try it.

Here.
- Ugh.

Oh, gosh, that's [inaudible].

Daisy, look.

Ugh!

It pooped in your mouth.

Oh, it did!

Is it all in my mouth?

Yeah.

Ugh, I got worm
poo in my mouth.

All right, let's continue
on with the scene.

Daisy, come here for a second.

Hey, man, can
you wipe your face off?

Aw!

Daisy, how do you do this?

That's pretty bad.

Ugh!

Didn't see that coming.

OK, well, nine-banded armadillo,
let's think about that name

for a second, because my friend
Archie-- you may remember

Archie from the episode
we did with Wildman Phil,

and Archie, he calls these
creatures rhino pigs,

and I could see that.

This animal's body is
covered in a hard series

of armored plates.

You see this?

All on the outside, they have
these keratin-like scales

that are then wound
together in these bands.

And they say
nine-banded armadillo,

but they can have
anywhere from 8 to 11.

Let's count Daisy's bands.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, oh, wow.

About a perfect nine.

But as they get bigger
and their bodies elongate,

those bands will expand.

Now, unlike some armadillo
species, they cannot

curl completely into a ball.

Daisy, can I pick you up?

You guys want to see what
the underside of an armadillo

looks like?

Let's see.

Oh, those claws are sharp.

There we go.

Oh!

Man.

Holding the armadillo, I don't
think it's going to be possible

unless I'm going to get
shredded like the claws

from a velociraptor.

One thing you may not
realize about armadillos

is that their claws
are incredibly sharp.

They're unbelievable burrowers.

And, actually, they can be
considered a keystone species

in many areas because the birds
that they dig are oftentimes

used by other animals as homes.

However, one problem that they
do serve in areas where there

are desert tortoises
and gopher tortoises

is they'll actually
distract those burrows,

and they can drive tortoises
out of their homes.

So it's kind of a
give-or-take when it comes to

whether or not they're
helping the environment

or hurting the environment.

Obviously, people see them
getting into their gardens.

They come in, root around,
dig up all the plants,

but what they're really
looking for are the worms.

And as you can see,
Daisy has made quick work

of that bowl of worms.

And look at that tail.

The tail is also armored.

And the entire body structure
of this animal is just so rigid.

And they're unbelievably strong.
Let me see.

Come here.

I'm trying to hold on to you.

Ah!

Oh!

There she goes.

Wow.

Handling an armadillo is like--

look at the scratches on the
underside of my hand there.

Those claws are razor sharp.

Oh, Daisy!

Now, she is about a
year and a half old.

And believe it or not,
they grow really quickly.

And she will get
bigger than this.

They can weigh as
much as 20 pounds.

And I would say
she's, well, maybe

about five pounds in weight.

Oh, this is not full grown.

No, this is not full grown.

She'll get significantly
bigger than this.

Oh!

Breathing in a lot of that dust.

Now, you see all these--

Oh!

You all right?

You all right, dude?

Dirt in the face.

Man, almost caught a whole
eyeball full of dirt.

Look at how she just--

look at how quick
she is digging.

Now, what I was trying
to show you there

before I got a face full of
dirt was all these little bumps

on the side of her are little
osteoderms, just like the skin

of a Gila monster.
Woo!

Look at that!

Like a bucking bronco there.

As soon as she
feels-- look at that.

Oh!

I'm in a dust storm,
in a dust storm.

And you see how they use
the elongation of their body

to dig a pile of dirt
underneath her back legs,

and then she thrusts it out.
Watch, this Mario.

Here it comes again.

Watch this.

Whoa!

Oh!

I'm getting covered
in dirt right now.

All right, Daisy, we're
going to bring you back up

here on the bench, OK?

She's not going to like this.

You ready?

Ah!

Oh!

Oh!

Just crushed my hand
up against the tree!

Did you see that?

Ah!

Ah!

Come on back.

Oh!

That was a dirt
party right there.

Hi, buddy.

Yeah, [inaudible].

She has kind of a beard.

She does.

And all that fur up front there
helps keep her face protected.

You'll notice that
elongated snout

is used for sniffing around
in the dirt as to burrowing.

Here's a really cool fact
that you may not know.

Armadillos can hold their breath
for an incredibly long time for

a mammal, up to five minutes.

And they've actually
been seen walking

on the basins of rivers,
crawling from one spot

to the next.

Let's turn you
this way like this.

There we go.

OK.

I'd love to show
you guys the belly.

Can we see your
belly real quick?

Ow!

Oh, those claws are sharp.

Oh!

Man, I am getting
annihilated here.

Let's see your belly.

Belly, belly, belly, belly.

Look at that underside.

Ah!

Can we show
everybody your belly?

Look at the underside
of that creature.

It might as well be leather.

Now, here's kind of
another interesting fact.

Believe it or not, you
can eat an armadillo.

And don't worry, Daisy,
nobody's going to eat you,

nobody's going to eat you.

But during the Great
Depression, people in Texas

actually used to
eat these animals.

And that's how they became
not only the state animal,

but have the famous
name Hoover Hog.

How about that?

Mark, would you ever
eat an armadillo?

No way.
Way too cute.

Yeah, way too cute.

OK, let's put you like this.

There we go, Daisy.

Thanks for letting us
see your underside.

You're so cute.

Now, talk to me about
the skin or the armor.

It looks like it's
pliable a little bit.

It is.

Look at this.

See how I can just kind of
move those bands individually?

And unlike other armadillo
species, they cannot

curl entirely into a ball.

But if they feel
threat from a predator,

like a coyote or even a jaguar,
because their range extends all

the way down into South America,
and that's actually where they

are most prevalent, they can
call themselves tight enough

where a predator can't actually
get to those softer undersides.

And look at those ears.

The ears look just like
the skin of a reptile.

But as we know, the
armadillo is a mammal,

and they're most closely
related to anteaters and sloths,

believe it or not.

Now, you'll notice that this
armadillo has very small eyes.

They actually have
poor eyesight,

but they have an
excellent sense of smell

and an excellent
sense of hearing.

Your belly is just like leather.
You know that?

Actually, look at all
this fur on the underside.

Do you see how soft
armadillos-- whoa!

Where are you going?

Come over here.

All right, well,
it's pretty hard

to just contain an armadillo
that wants to explore.

So I think Daisy's ready
to get down on the ground.

She's peeing on you.

Oh!

Ugh!

That is not my pee.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I just got peed on
by an armadillo.

Ugh.

Oh, man.

I'm loving this armadillo.

I'm getting clawed up.

I'm getting peed on.

It ain't easy working
with an armadillo.

I'll tell you guys that much.

Look at that.

Right back in that
same exact hole.

You know, if you want somebody
to let go of you so that you

can go dig a hole
underneath the tree,

one way to do it is
definitely to pee on them.

Well, Coyote, I
think the armadillo

wants to go adventure.

Why don't we follow her around?
Let's grab our GoPros

Yeah.

I think at this
juncture, the best thing

to do is just go where
the armadillo wants to go.

So I'm going to grab my GoPro.

There we go.

And let's see if we
can get into the world

of the nine-banded armadillo.

Oh, I smell urine.

Yeah, it's a good chance.

I want to feel
what this is like.

Yeah, go ahead.

Touch the back there.

Oh, wow.

Right?

It's like really tough,
but it is a little pliable.

And you can see why
Archie calls it a rhino pig.

Yeah.

It's like rhino
skin with a pig nose.

How about the tail?

The tail, yeah,
completely armor-plated.

Oh, wow.
The tail's tougher.

Look at that.

Yeah, and you can even see where
the tail connects to the body.

Whoa!

That's all like baseball
mitt leather right there.

Crazy cool.

How deep do we
want this armadillo

to dig under this tree, guys?

Uh, well, we don't
want her to get

all the way underneath there.

And you can see, in just
a matter of minutes,

she has dug almost her entire
body underneath the root

structure of this tree.

Oh, there she is.

Hi, Daisy.

Hi, Daisy.

Say hi to Uncle Mark.

Oh.

All right, done digging.

Let's see what else we can find.

All right.

Now she's exploring for
other possibilities.

Daisy was actually rescued
as a baby in Texas.

And our good friend Wildman
Phil has been taking care of her

ever since.

And we've shown you
guys so many creepy

looking creatures as of late.

We said to ourselves,
you know what,

we need another cute animal on
the "Brave Wilderness" channel.

So how cool was this?

Spending our
afternoon, hanging out

with the nine-banded armadillo.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on
the next adventure.

All right, ready?

Here she comes, Mark.

Now, you may be
asking yourself, does

Coyote Peterson always have
a tiny turtle in his pocket?

Well, not always.

But today, we're going to
talk about the differences

between the turtle
and the tortoise.

Say hello to Buckshot.

Turtles, turtles, turtles.

For nearly 200 million
years, a reptile

we all know as the turtle
has inhabited our planet.

These cold-blooded
ectotherms are protected

by a hard, bony shell.

They breathe air, and eat
their food using a beak.

Of the 327 known species
that exist today,

some live in water, while
others can be found on land.

Since childhood, I've been
fascinated by these seemingly

slow-moving creatures, yet
to many people's surprise,

they're actually quite speedy,
especially when in the water.

But what about the
land-dwelling, stumpy-footed,

slow-moving reptile that somehow
defeated that speedy rabbit?

Yes, I am talking
about the tortoise.

And the one question
people are always

asking, is a tortoise a turtle
or is a turtle a tortoise?

Well, there is an
answer to that question.

And to help us get to the
bottom of this timeless mystery,

we are going to get the cameras
up close to one of the largest

species in the world.

OK, I hope everybody
out there watching

is excited, because
right here in this bag,

I've got a bunch of vegetables.

You guys know that vegetables
are good for you, right?

Coyote, I don't think
anybody is going to get

excited about vegetables, man.

Ah, well, maybe you're not
excited about the vegetables,

but you should be
excited about who is

going to eat these vegetables.

You guys ready to
see a giant tortoise?

How big is this tortoise?
I mean--

Oh, ho!
You brought a lot.

Is it going to eat all of that?

Oh, it's going
to eat all of it.

We're probably going to run
out of food before we're

done filming the segment.

Really?

If you guys are ready,
let's go meet Buckshot.

Buckshot?

I like that name.

Oh, yeah!

She's my buddy!

There you are!

Oh, my goodness.

Hi, Buckshot!

This is the Galapagos
tortoise, the largest

tortoise species in the world.

And what we're going to do
today is feed her her dinner.

OK.

Uh, Buckshot, hey,
where are you going?

All the food's over here!

First bite.

Oh, there's a big tortoise poop.

Did you you step in that?

I may have stepped
on the tortoise poop.

Oh, did I do it?

Oh, I might have done it.
Oh!

It's on my--
Ugh!

It's on my boot!

Oh, man, dude!

Ugh!

Oh, Mark
stepped in the tortoise poop.

Oh, is this poo too?

Nope.
It's just that side.

Just that one.
Oh, gosh.

All right, Buckshot, come
this way, away from the poop.

Over here.

Come on, sweetie.

Buckshot.

There we go.

Now, one very distinct thing
about tortoises and turtles

is the length of that neck.

And she's holding up the
entire weight of her body

and stretching out her neck.

And they would do
this in the wild

to forge for plants
that were higher up.

She could pull down
fruits and berries.

Whoa!
Look at that!

Listen to those chompers.

Look at the
chomp of that beak.

Now, I'm trying to pay attention
to where your camera's at,

Mark, but I also have to
pay attention to her beak.

Because you see
when she bites out,

she bites and lunges
her head forward,

and I do not want to lose
a finger in that beak.

Oh, that's a little close there.

Oh.

We're in South
Florida right now.

And this is one of the
only Galapagos tortoises

in captivity here in this area.

And we were given the
opportunity to film with her.

Now, she is 25 years
old, and she weighs 140--

oh-- pounds.

She actually just almost
bit my nose right there.

No, my nose is not
romaine lettuce.

And she is an absolute giant.

This tortoise weighs just
about as much as I do.

I weigh 155 pounds.

So this creature is
absolutely massive.

And, oh, boy, she's like about
to step on top of my leg.

Oh!
Watch this.

This is cool.

Watch how high she can
bounce up her 140 pound body.

Do you see that?
It's like--

I can't even get
it all in the frame.

Wow!

It's like a Brachiosaur eating
leaves at the top of a tree.

Now, the Galapagos
tortoise is an herbivore.

And they get a large
percentage of their moisture

through the food that they eat.

And you can see how juicy-- oh,
getting close to my fingers!

OK, we're moving on
to the next piece.

You can see how juicy a lot
of these vegetables are.

Oh, here's something.

Look at this.

Oh, look at that.

Look at that.

Ah, ah!

Look at that.

She's standing on my leg.

She is like squishing my ankle.

Ha.

I never thought I would be
feeding a Galapagos tortoise.

I hope that one day we
can end up on Galapagos

Island or one of the islands--

oh, that's better!

Now she's not
actually on my ankle--

and feed some of these
tortoises in the wild.

How about the cucumber?

Let's have some cucumber.

That is my personal favorite.

There you go.

You know, you should
do a "Lady and the Tramp."

With the cucumber?

Yeah.

One in your mouth.

Ready?

Get a profile.

Oh, she's standing on me.

Ready?

Oh!

Keep going.
One more bite.

Nuh uh.

It's too close to my nose.

No, no, no, no,
no, it'll be fine.

Oh, too close.

If she gets my nose, it's--

Oh, man.

Is there any more
cucumber back there?

Oh, jeez!

I'm telling you, if I get my
fingers stuck in that beak,

it is going to be game over.

She could easily snip
off the tip of my finger.

Ow!

Ow!

Oh!

She crushed my shin!

Oh, she found the snacks.

Oh, she did.

Maybe she's after these.

At 25 years old, she is only
about a fifth of the size.

Now, at 140 pounds,
they can grow

to be close to 1,000 pounds.

Imagine something that
is five times this size.

Look at this.

This is me hugging a tortoise.

Oh!

Ah.

Let me see if I can
hear her heartbeat.

No.

Nothing inside of that
solid bone carapace.

Wow!

I am in just such
awe of this creature.

Like, it is massive.

Can you believe this?

And this is rare.

Like, there's not like
a Galapagos tortoise

in every street corner.

No.

Many zoos do have
Galapagos tortoises,

but they're actually really hard
to take care of in captivity.

So this is a very
unique situation for us

to be able to get up
close with this animal.

And like I said, I would love
to be on the island of Galapagos

someday, filming these
creatures in the wild,

but we certainly
weren't going to pass

up the opportunity to get this
one up close for the cameras.

So, Coyote,
I have a question.

So we keep talking about
turtles and tortoises.

And I'm a little confused.

What separates a
tortoise from a turtle?

Great question.

Technically, all tortoises
are turtles, but not

all turtles are tortoises.

Think about that for a second.

Kind of crazy, right?

A bit of a brain-scrambler.

Let's look at the body
structure of the tortoise,

and that's what will
help us distinguish this

as being separate from a
lot of the aquatic turtles

that we're used to
getting up close to.

Right?
You want to do that?

Yeah, let's do that.

OK, where
do you want to start?

Let's talk about size.

Size, yes.

Massive size.

Now, tortoises are large because
they constantly are feeding.

All this animal does on a
daily basis is crawl out

into the sun, heat up
for a couple of hours,

and then it forges all day long.

So the more it eats,
the larger it grows.

And look at the
rugged body structure.

Many tortoise species live
in rugged environments,

which has allowed them to adapt
to a body structure like this.

Their skin is like leather.

Feels just like an
old catcher's mitt.

Come on.

Put your hand on
there and feel that.

It kind of feels like
a rhino or an elephant skin.

Right?

It's interesting that you
mention elephant skin,

because look at
this leg structure.

Both the front legs,
no webbing on the feet.

Just these big gnarly paws
and these stumped claws.

And then the back feet
specifically-- here, come

back here and look at this.

Let me get her to
put her foot down.

Looks just like-- oh, oh, oh!

Don't want to scare her.

Looks just like
an elephant foot.

Yeah, and that's called
elephantine leg structure.

And when she lifts her
body up-- oh, careful.

Yeah.

A little
close, little tight.

Yeah, look at that.

Very sensitive
for a big turtle.

Look how big her
paws next to my hand.

I don't want to keep
that there too long,

because if she does step down on
my fingers, she can crush them.

That's a bit of a
risky position to be.

But you see that?

They do have claws.

And just like turtles,
they lay eggs.

Now, let's look at
the shell structure.

As compared to a turtle,
a tortoise has a much

more domed shell structure.

Turtles are streamlined.

They have narrower shells
that allow them to quickly

move through the water.

A tortoise doesn't
go in the water.

A tortoise just needs to be
able to traverse over land.

Wow.

So it sounds like
tortoises are specialized--

Yes.
- for living on land.

So is that the big difference?

That is-- I would say the
biggest difference between most

turtle species and tortoises
is that tortoises are

specialized for living on land.

Now, you do have some
land turtle species,

like the box turtle and the
wood turtle, two of my favorites

that live in the United States.

However, tortoises, you'll
never find them in the water.

You're never going
to come across a pond

and say, oh, there's a
tortoise swimming around.

Now, a tortoise may crawl
into a puddle of water

to drink and to cool
itself off, but you'll

never find them swimming.

They just kind of like--

kind of submerge

through like a giant tank.

Is she full?

Nope.

Oh, she's never full.

Well, I'll definitely say
that we learned a lot today,

and that, technically,
all tortoises are turtles.

The thing that distinguishes
a tortoise as a tortoise

is that it has adapted
for a life on land.

And I can tell you this
much, you never want to bring

a tortoise to a salad buffet.

I think they
could wipe out a salad

bar in about 20 minutes.

Oh, yeah.

Especially the
Galapagos tortoise.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see on the next adventure.

See you later, Buckshot.

The turtle is an
evolutionary phenomenon

that has fascinated
both children and adults

since the dawn of mankind.

And whether you think they
are adorable, or scary, slimy,

or scaly, I think
there are two things we

can all certainly agree upon.

Turtles are one of the most
unique animals on the planet,

and I like turtles.
