Nine-banded Armadillo

[Eric Gofreed]

The nine-banded armadillo, also known as the nine-banded long-nosed armadillo or common long-nosed armadillo, is a mammal found in North, Central, and South America, making it the most widespread of the armadillos. This guy was photographed in Texas.

Don't believe I have ever even seen a photo of this species.

Cool shots of this critter.

I was under the impression that most armadillos in Texas were two dimensional.

LOL, Alan. How did the armadillo cross the road? He was stapled to the chicken.

These are really great Eric. I have never seen one outside of a zoo.

In a side note, are you sure Texas is in North America?

Texas is a strange state and by the American Birding Association definition, it is in North America while Mexico is not.
In Texas, it's illegal to put graffiti on someone else's cow.
