The nine-banded armadillo I work with was being so cute I couldn’t help but show her off. Her name is Delilah and she was enjoying a morning sunbathing!

Allow me to lose my mind with the reversed zoo Siren au. May we get some general headcanons, dear Llama?
She's killed a staff member before. The boys all keep quiet about it. The last thing they want is their sweet siren being taken away from them for something so silly as her just doing what sirens ought to do.
One of the skeletons may or may not have pushed someone in
Although she's got a pretty decent situation going on, with lots of attention and good food and enrichment, she's still held captive. She still wants to escape.
The three gradually bond over their shared affection for her. There's secrets they share between each other that nobody else at the aquarium knows.
Since Sans is highly researched in siren behaviour, he tends to make suggestions for improvements to her tank. The only thing Red hates more than Sans telling him what to do is the fact that he knows he has to do it anyway- the suggestions are always great, and clearly make her happy. Red begrudgingly accepts that Mc's comfort is more important than his ego.
She bites Skull a lot. Stress relief, getting to take out pent-up aggression on his hands. He wears the tiny notches in his phalanges like badges of honour. Besides... when she's close up and biting his hands she's close enough for him to pet her hair. The fact that she trusts him enough to let him hold her head makes him emotional.
Raw fish is not the worst thing he's eaten in order to share food with her.
Yknow how when Red's a siren, he pinches Mc's ass? Siren Mc has a deep curiosity for the skeletons and their physiology. She nips Skull's hands, obviously, and she has a habit of touching Sans' face... but she likes to 'check out' Red the most, since he has a lot of time in the tank with her.
(She grabs his butt. Ribs, too. But mostly his bony butt.)
Mc enjoys entertaining human children. They think she's a mermaid so they're easily excited.
Sans is the first one to figure out she knows more than she lets on. There's something about her expressions, something about the noises she makes; he's studied inter-species communication, he knows an intelligent creature pretending to be stupid when he sees it.
Hit in this AU would probably be a private third party, trying to convince the aquarium to sell Mc to him. He shares the boys' delighted obsession with her... but perhaps a bit too much so. A pretty little mermaid all to himself sounds perfect. He's got a gilded tank waiting for her.
