Love the Armadillo!!!!

They are difficult to photograph, easy to approach but they have there heads buried in the ground most of the time. They remind me of a snow plow going through a big snow drift, lots of snow flying through the air obscuring the front of the plow and all you see is the back of it. I think they also have no sense of direction :D trying to get in front of them is near impossible its two steps this way, then turn to the right, three steps, now do a 180 degree turn, four steps and then start off back the way it came...for a couple of steps.

I have never coverd so much ground...... and still been in the same location.

Do you have them in SA?
 
A couple shots from the last couple weekends:

Thatcher Island from Loblolly Cove (with my favorite filter)


The contrasting architectures of The Hancock Building and the Copley Plaza with the full moon and an American flag:


I took a bunch more at Loblolly, but haven't had a chance to edit them up satisfactorily. B&W is a lot of work!

No we don't. We have a somewhat similar animal called the Pangolin but they are EXTREMELY rare and I have yet to see one - despite having spent countless hours in the bush.

I saw an Armadillo in Florida once but it was walking along the side of the freeway so I couldn't exactly stop to savour the moment. I also saw a roadkill in Arizona but those don't count. I'd give my two front teeth to see a Pangolin.

Pangolin?, I will have to look that up. I got a supprise with the Armadillos, I visited a nature park in the center of St Petersburg Fl for the first time and what a supprise, there where Armadillos every where. Maybe its that time of year, there was a lot of chasing going on :D. Three diffrent types of snakes in one day and a number of gators.
All this in the center of a city. The things I am looking for is a Fl Panther, a River Otter and a Bob cat, one was seen a couple of weeks ago in the small town that I live in. One can only live and hope.
Good luck with the Pangolin.
 
What a job focusing in the dark
