Karmadillo

A Texas man was wounded after he fired a gun at an armadillo in his yard and the bullet ricocheted back to hit him in his face, the county sheriff said Friday.
Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, Texas, at around 3 a.m. local time Thursday morning. He spotted the armadillo on his property and opened fire.
"His wife was in the house. He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Rowe said.
The animal's hard shell deflected at least one of three bullets, which then struck the man's jaw, he said.
The man was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where his jaw was wired shut, according to Rowe.
The status of the animal is unknown.
"We didn't find the armadillo," the sheriff said.

He moonlights as a rent a Cop. He was practicing in case he ever made it up to the big leagues and saw a dog.

Evolution works!!!
That armadillo is clearly more fit for survival than the man.

Was it with an Anschutz Rifle?

Armadillo shell is not that hard! He hit something else for bullet to ricochet back.

The OB firearm forensic teams already proved that it was 125gr .38 JSP round and a sliver ricochet off the 'dillas armour and struck the man in the face.
Boom.
Case closed...

It's so absurd that people think that bullet actually ricocheted off an armadillo. An armadillo's shell is nothing. Just bc it looks like a tank doesn't mean it's actually going to stop a .38 bullet.
