What the hell is this thing? I thought I was pretty educated when it came to the animal kingdom...but I'm stumped. It is obviously related to the Armadillo...but this thing looks really...dangerous.

Body like an Armadillo, claws like a Badger... Bagadillo?
Answer is a couple above. It's a Pangolin. According to Animal Planet it's unrelated to anything else on the planet. I was going to guess anteater (since it eats a lot of them and the nose looks the same), but I was wrong, it's in it's own little phylum (or whatever, I don't remember all the categories).
They showed guys chasing it (tends to come out at night) and would curl up into that little ball, like Sonic the Hedgehog

Tough looking little dude.
