I wanted to help my friend.

A friend of mine recently purchased a property. On the property is an old barn. He like to camp, and hang his hammock overnight to sleep in, and when he was first in the property, a creature that he could not see or locate kept him up for part of the night with random rustlings. When he described the scenario to me, I told him I was about 95% sure it was an armadillo.

Not too much later, I ended up out on his property with my oldest son. As evening set in and we were enjoying the campfire, my son heard a rustling. Soon, I was on the move and not only located and saw the creature, but also captured it. My speculation had been correct. Soon, another armadillo also passed by that same area.

My son, who is nine, took these photos. These photos are of the first armadillo, a mature female. Thankfully, it was not a mountain lion or something that wanted to eat my friend. Also, the second to last photo was the "social media" spoof. Enjoy!
