Critter Demo — part deux

Critter Demo — part deux

A southern 3‑banded armadillo, native to South America. Another one of the amazing creatures that Dennis Sheridan shared with my nature photo class. Their feet move so fast they blur and they can roll up into a ball to escape predators. This one was actually on loan from the “Zoo-to-You” program in Paso Robles, California.
