Dasypus novemcinctus
Armadillos have 4 identical babies. This is one of four babies that are making the garden their home. They still have pink skin and fuzz showing. They have digging through most of the garden at night. The smallest is shy, but they all come out about noon for a snack.
Garden and the nursery is under a wooden deck.
A few years ago the garden was a nursery for three, one did not survive birth.

Removed from the "Signs of Wildlife" mission, as it doesn't fit the description. That mission is for "the bones, fossils, webs, eggs, tracks, and other signs of wildlife" and not the actual animals themselves. Thanks!
Awesome!!! I'm so jealous. We have armadillos here too, though not as many as in Texas, but I can never find a live one. See them on the side of the road all the time : ( How cool to have a family of them in your yard.
Great Spotting! Must be really neat to have these guys living so close! I've personally never seen a wild armadillo, they are really intriguing.
