These are from my second meeting with this baby Armadillo.

After photographing him I walked into some marshes, a pretty long distance and time.

I had left him in a stretch of woods and on my return to leave there he was…still rooting around.
He did leave as I shot a few more photographs. I’m not sure he ever knew I was there.

Several of the images clearly show the massive claws used to burrow.
