As I was focusing on the many small and low plants in the sandy open spaces around the buildings of Pousada Xaraés, this six-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) was passing by.
As with the others I’ve encountered here, it was moving quickly, sniffing in one area for a short time, then quickly moving on. Here it’s superficially digging into what seems like an old armadillo burrow. I first thought it was residing there, but alas. It moved on, I guess in search of suitable sustenance.
