These cards were ever present in v' old days, I seem to believe they came in box where you could dial a name and your chosen animal appears. I don't think I'll try to find a full of set of animals A-Z , X is always tricky.....Apart from the guitar fact (see above) according to the back of the card.
Brer Armadillo : Dasypus novemcintus is...
"It is a first-rate sapper and miner, which can dig holes in the hardest ground"
"the armadillo reproduces slowly and all the young of one litter are indentical twins of the same sex."
Little Owls and Fluffy mackerel:
