Camo´d Amarillo Armadillo Caught on Camera!
A headline for all the red top readers out there.
I have a new camera – a shiny Canon Powershot S3 iS!
It is different to the one I had before, hopefully better and longer lasting..
The following photo was not taken with this camera, but with my old one.
Here we have Mike – trying, with near success, to remain unseen:
His cover was blown after a keen pair of eyes spotted him roadside. With nothing more to lose, he reluctantly asked to be held up for a proper photo:
Time to try out the new camera in the streets of Buenos Aires..

Are you sure that he is not Michelle? Either that or Mike is being rather shy. Alternatively he’s had a very nasty accident 🙂
Apparently the penis of the South American nine banded armadillo is supposed to be very conspicuous and stretches to two thirds of its body length in order to “insinuate it under the female’s shell”. I refer you to the paper “Axial Orthogonal Fiber Reinforcement in the Penis of the Nine-Banded Armadillo”.

Haha, in that case, I´m not sure!
If it is Mike (and not Michelle), in his defense, the patagonian winds were particularly strong and icy that day..
Two thirds body length?
Reinforced?
Wow.
