A three-banded armadillo named Wilson entertained visitors at the San Antonio Zoo recently, as he played with a toy Spurs basketball and incorporated it into his roly-poly form. Footage posted to Facebook on Saturday, February 24, shows Wilson promptly grabbing and rolling over with a ball after a keeper places him in a San Antonio Spurs-themed enclosure. The footage also shows how the cute critter rights itself after rolling onto its back. According to the San Antonio Zoo, the three-banded armadillo is one of the only species that can roll itself into a perfect ball as a defense mechanism. Credit: San Antonio Zoo via Storyful
