Huge, 30 ton dinosaur that looks like an armadillo with a spiked, ball tail? Would love to find more info on this creature from the Cretaceous Period.

A friend gave me this gorgeous little lizard but now I’m stuck and don’t know how often to feed it…He is about 7in long including his tail and a few stripes…I thought he was a Armadillo Lizard but after looking at pictures on-line I realize that he is not…he is very friendly with me as long as I pet him underneath his mouth…My real question is how often should I feed him…and what else besides crickets should he eat?? Can I feed him lettuce?? Worms??

Just moved to a different climate, and I saw an animal I couldn’t identify the other day. It was grey (? it was night time) with a white face. I would guess it was about 10 inches tall, and had the silhouette of an armadillo (arched back). It had a short tail that was long enough to see, but did not touch the ground. What was it?
I live in Southern California by the way.

I am just sure I saw a bald eagle picking up a dead armadillo yesterday. It was a huge brown bird with a white tail and white head, yellow beak…looked just like a bald eagle. But I didn’t think they ventured this far south, so I thought I would check.

I really am curious. After seeing a huge armadillo in the grocery store parking lot yesterday, it grossed me out a little. The armadillo had this huge bulb/growth/bump looking thing that either looked like a tail or like something was coming out of it’s rear. Someone told me there are certain kinds of armadillos with tails. Have you ever seen one like that?
