RE: COMBINATION PHOTOGRAPHY WEEK 17 - YOUR CHANCE TO WIN SBD!
And because I am no @papa-pepper, I kept a safe distance. Lol! I did get closer than this, but taking a selfie with it? With my back turned? I was nervous. Hahaha!
Incredible! We have these armadillos here, we call them gures locally; they are nearly impossible to get good sightings because of our steep slopes, they roll into a ball and roll right down the mountain!
Great shots!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun watching it. I think (though, I’m not sure) that they look more mean than they are. I never got to see it roll! Haha! It did dig very quickly, and sling dirt quite a distance.
I'm not always sure about meanness, but the only thing I've ever seen them do is run/roll away. When they ball up, they push off every revolution with their powerful tail. Its a pretty amazing sight!
I would love to see it! Maybe you could capture video of it sometime?
Thats an armadillo?
Yes! I’ve never seen one up close, until yesterday.
