Another lovely arty photograph, this time of an armadillo. The panoramic crop makes the composition interesting and shows just how long (and scaly) this tail really is! So simple yet so original. Well done a definite favourite.

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) can be found in scrub-lands , open prairies, and tropical rainforests. The nine-banded armadillo is a solitary, mainly nocturnal animal that is an insectivore, feeding chiefly on ants, termites, and other small invertebrates. I shot this little guy while I was wondering around Fort Wilderness nature trails. (without a flash so he wouldn’t jump) I am a Disney Emerging Master Artisan Elizabeth Yureklier DiRosa and Florida wildlife photographer.
