Armadillo
I love armadillos, but do not like to step in the holes they leave behind as they forage for grubs. This young one was out beside the highway and I walked close enough for some shots. The road was on a slope so I was able to position myself at the bottom so the animal was at eye level. This one was very curious and posed for quite a few photos as it sniffed the air and listened to the sounds from my camera. They reportedly have very poor eyesight. Usually they run away very fast when they realize a potential threat is nearby.
