Welcome back to Bizarre Beasts: Season Zero, where we re-imagine episodes of Bizarre Beasts originally created for Vlogbrothers. This episode focuses on nine-banded armadillos, the small land animals that can walk underwater.

The Nine-Banded Armadillo Pin was designed by Lukas Phelan. Learn more about him and his work here: https://lukasphelan.com/
