What's so unusual about armadillo reproduction?
The conception and birth of the armadillo are odd events. Although
mating usually occurs in July, the embryos of the armadillo remain
in a dormant state until November. Later in March, four young are
born. Armadillos are the only mammals in which multiple young form
from a single egg with any regularity. All four of the young, always
of the same sex, are identical quadruplets and developed from the
same egg. They even shared a single placenta while in the womb.

According to the Missouri Conservation Commission, an Overland
angler, Bill Salsmann, snagged a carp in Brickhouse Slough near St.

and weighed 1 1/2 pounds. Although deformities are not uncommon
among fish, lack of mouth is exceedingly rare. Commission biologists
have speculated that, in order to have survived and grown to such a
size the carp must have received a supply of small food particles
through it's gill openings.
