Armadillo!

[emmagrant01]

snapetoy posted pictures and a video of kangaroos in her yard, which probably seems utterly mundane to the Aussies on her flist, but totally amazing to me. And then I thought hey, I could post pics and a video of a weird-looking animal very common in my part of the world.

And so I present: The Armadillo.

Most commonly seen dead and squashed on the roads of Texas, these bizarre little creatures are generally nocturnal. But as you see in these pics, they are often out and about at dawn, rooting through your grass for worms and bugs. This one was in my back yard one morning last spring.







And here's video!

What are your weird animals? Got pictures?

In my garden at home. This was last year. This year I've refused to go home because they're there. Stupid turkeys. My mother says they're cute but I know they're out to get me.
