This is in the middle of the woods around Covington, LA.

Best guess, Armadillo gave up the spirit (or was killed) and was eaten by animals/birds.

I am pretty sure he would have had a heart attack anyway were he alive and heard the α850's shutter, LOL!

The Evolution title is for: "Pretty sure this Armadillo's ancestors walked out of the water few million years ago..."

This is a very nice picture!! Where was this taken?

but hmmm what just happened there?? ... did the animal decide to change it's skin/shell, got eaten or something?? or did you frightened it out with your camera?? :) j/k

bye
