On a seldom used trail, at an old abandoned water cistern, someone had set out three things. The rock… I think it’s just a rock. The bottle… it’s old, but probably just a bottle. The skull… that’s different. I don’t recognize it. That’s an odd-looking skull. It’s not a rat or rabbit. It’s not a bird. Not a dog, cat, fox, or coyote. I was stumped.
I turned the skull over to expose the teeth.
Nice row of molars, but still nothing. I showed the pictures to Judy when I got home, and she named the critter she thought it was right away. I googled it and came up with this.
Looks just like it. 9 banded armadillo! Of course. There are plenty of armadillos here.
