I heard a commotion a few minutes ago and looked out my office window to see Mrs Rupert rounding up tonight's dinner.....I suppose? It is her night to cook. Neat thing about an armadillo is that they provide their own bowl!

Looks like you've got him cornered Mrs Rupert!

You better run! I smell that BBQ grill warming up!

Wow! You're nice and fat, we can send some leftovers to Otis' PF buddies!

Don't run off! ...we're only kidding...sort of!

Nice images of a very shy creature! (We called them "possum on a half-shell".) And the reason vehicles are so deadly to 'dillos is because they jump when startled.. When a car passes over them on the highway, they jump up, slamming into the undercarriage. Just do a web search for images of "armadillo jumping".

You're right! I forgot all about that...they are real jumpers! Combine that with their poor eyesight and it is amazing they are not extinct!
