Clean shaven too! Did your character survive?
On my first day of filming, the hair and make-up folks shaved my beard, telling me that director David Gordon Green liked clean-shaven cops in his films. However, when I got to on set that night, David remarked that he liked my beard and asked why they shaved it. The girl who shaved it freaked out thinking she was going to get fired and did some research. Halloween is set in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. The make-up gal determined that, at the time of filming, the sheriff's association in Illinois did not allow their deputies/officers to have beards so my baby-face was factually accurate.
Probable cause + a compliant public.
As a backup gun location, sure. Ankle carry is never going to be as readily accessible as something on or around your waist. Having to bend down likely means eyes off target, hiking up your pant leg, avoiding getting your pant leg caught on the grip or holster in the process, drawing, re-acquiring the target, etc. Sheesh. Also, you wear yoga pants about 95% of the time so I'm not sure how that's going to work out for you - but, as always, follow your heart... and send pics.
I was actually extolling the virtues of opossums last night to my wife's coworker and her family. First off, the official term for the marsupial we have in the US is "opossum," while "possum" is an entirely separate species native to Australia. However, I'm told that it's perfectly acceptable to use the term "possum" in an informal setting in the US to refer to "opossums." English makes no sense. Anyway, possums are fantastic and I highly recommend scooping up the next one you find in your yard, taking him inside, and hanging out with him for a few hours. They don't carry rabies, they eat ticks, and while they show their teeth when you approach, I have yet to have a single one actually bite me when I pick it up. In fact, they tend to relax fairly quickly and seem to enjoy lounging around on your shoulders. Sadly, I can't say the same for chipmunks and strongly advise that you don't pick them up as I was bitten twice by the same chipmunk during one lunch break last year.

I can only answer for myself: no. I see armadillos in person all the time. I've only seen one black bear in the mountains while out hunting and not only did it look like a youngster, it was also in close proximity to a corn pile I put out for deer. We aren't allowed to bait for bears here in GA so even if it had been a tank I still wouldn't have shot him there. I've seen tons of sign from scat, to scratch marks on trees - some of which look like gang signs, to fairly substantial rhododendron trees broken out of spite. I believe the gang signs and broken trees were acts specifically committed to mock me.
Short answer: Some of it, yes.
Ah I recall a period where you needed an armadillo model for an image so I thought they weren’t native.
