Dasypodidae
Long snouted animal in the anteater family. It has an armored shell to cover its back and flanks.
Temperate climates where they can dig for grubs and small insects for food with their sharp claws.
They are relatively blind. I was watching this one for over 15 minutes and it never knew I was there. Totally oblivious. Works for me when Im trying to get that shot. Spotted on Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, GA.
