About a week and a half ago I finally got to meet the armadillo babies that have been living under our shed. All four of them were out but Mama Armadillo was nowhere to be seen. I spent 30 minutes or more out there watching them until they got used to me.
A little later I came back with Jonas and we quietly watched two of the babies digging in the leaves. Jonas started playing with the leaves, too, and one of the armadillos came sniffing his foot. Using the opportunity Jonas touched his ears. The little guy backed up a few steps, looked at Jonas and came back closer. This time Jonas petted his back, which didn’t seem to bother him. Later Jonas got a little too enthusiastic and the little armadillo decided that under the shed is a safer place for him. The other baby which had played near us all the while stood on his hind legs to say goodbye when Jonas waved.
Too bad Jonas won't remember this later and I didn’t have the camera for the second encounter.
