5 month old baby giant armadillo 1

At 5 months the baby still relies entirely on its mother and patiently waits for her in the burrow. Now at 5 months he spends time with her on the sand mound in front of the burrow. She will leave to forage and he will return in the burrow to wait patiently for her return. This work is part of the Giant Armadillo Conservation. Photo taken at Fazenda Baia das Pedras.
