                    Figure 28-5  •  A, Lateral and dorsoventral (B) views of a normal armadillo show the normal abdominal banding created by the overlapping
                    plates of the carapace. The unfamiliar appearance of the pelvis and femurs, especially when tucked up under the animal, can lead to an
                    erroneous diagnosis of fracture.
