I tried to get a better picture but anyone from down here will tell you how timid and skittish armadillos are. They are one of those animals that unless you see them in the bush foraging around, it's hard to tell if it is a wild boar, deer etc. This shot is typical of them; trying to hide at the slightest noise.

It is not every day that I can say I've been mooned by an armadillo! :)

While not its most photogenic side, still a nice shot of an unquestionably unique creature, Alex.

I can practically feel it willing itself to be invisible, hiding within the grass and vines.

It's like a like child that hides its head and thinks it is hidden.
Cute capture Alex.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I have seen them only at the zoo. At least you got a shot of the rear half here.

I love armadillos Alex and in my opinion, it's a good shot - he's doing what armadillos do - you really have some cool animals in your area!!!!!!!!!

Alex - Several years ago, while In Florida, we saw armadillo by the dozens, all in this same position. But, we never got close to them. This one was quite bashful!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
