And now that you do have intercourse , are you ever planning to sleep again ? This is the armoured lowlife . It ’s a rodent in South America that has actual spines , which presumably can be driven instantly into your eyes should you even look at it funny .
For the first month of its life , the armoured dirty dog looks like just a even South American rat . It ’s one of a small litter . It has gentle pelt . It is clean well able-bodied to manage for itself . It ’s a real subsister of a gnawer . After one calendar month , uncanny things start to chance . The soft pelt seems to get matted . It starts to count stiff , as if the rat were caught in a rainstorm and then sprayed with the heavy duty hairspray they used back before anyone cared about the ozone layer .
The poppycock that ’s covering the rat is not hairsbreadth , well - kept or otherwise . It ’s spikes . The panoplied informer has spikes all over . This , perhaps , should n’t be a surprisal . A look at its lineage shows that it ’s more close related to the porcupine than the browned so-and-so . It his , however , a gnawer . And it beat into all the difficulty a rotter does . And it ’s not alone . Tome ’s spiny rat also grows spikes and runs around South America using them . And they both are most active at Nox . And they can both grow up to a Irish pound and a half .

Sleep well !
