Baby Armadillo….another one

We spotted this little guy about 3 weeks ago.  It looks like it’s shell is still soft.

You can see the shape of the skeleton underneath. It doesn’t have the rounded look yet.

It has a lot of hair on it. Look along it’s back, the edge of the shell by the hind leg and in the light spot behind it’s ears.

It was very active and didn’t seem the least bit concerned with us being there.

  5. Armadillos are blind as a bat. Thats why you can walk right up and pick them up. They're herbivors, so as far as I know they won't bite you, or at least they never bit me. Can't hurt to just keep your fingers away from their mouths, though, just in case. Great pic's, Carol! Nice coverage of all your experiences in the jungle home you and Jim share. Keep up the great work!
