Dasypus novemcinctus
December 23, 1986: Kennedy Space Center, Brevard County, FL
This little critter was seen at Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. I have only a dim memory of it (and I didn’t remember it happening on this trip), but my aunt recently reminded me that she and I saw an Armadillo together when I’d visited her in Florida all these years ago. OH YEAH!
December 8, 1994: Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Martin, FL
I caught a glimpse of this little friend as it was moving through some bushes very near the path. I only got a short look, but the animal was quite close.
Let me know what you think!
