either that or a big mess.

flock of seagulls. pack of wolves. herd of cattle. pod of dolphins.

i asked the all knowing Google what you call a group of armadillos and reached the conclusion that they don't have a "special name" for armadillos. i think it ought to be an army. not that i have any authority over such things. just sayin'.

i had a point.

last week, i was privileged to witness a group of four baby armadillos (armadillo? armadilli?) out on the prowl for grubs or roots or whatever it is armadillos dig eighty gadzillion holes all over the yard looking for. (i didn't Google that to find out. i was afraid i would see a photo of a grub & that? i can do without.) since i don't own the yard in question, instead of freaking out over the hole-digging, i got out my camera.







there are a bunch more (mostly of their little rear ends & tails since their faces are in the dirt) but you get the idea. i wanted to be horrified by the damage they were causing but i was too fascinated. they were so engrossed in what they were doing--either that or too young to have any fear of humans--that they didn't even pay attention to me & my camera.
