Hairy Armadillo Hairy Armadillo – A Digging Dynamo

A Digging Dynamo

Sources in the literature refer to the various armadillo species as being fairly nocturnal and crepuscular in their activity patterns. This one was caught while exiting its burrow entrance in the wilds of Chile during the day.

Check out those bodacious claws used effectively in its fossorial way of life. They make this Hairy Armadillo a digging dynamo!
