A New Armadilo

     Even though Armadillos are an exotic/invasive species the staff here are full of love for them too. I took this one out for a bug search in the grass. I put antibaterial lotion of some cracks in his shell. It was dragging its back legs but seemed otherwise able to move freely.
     I held (Izzy) a sweet Opossum for half an hour. The whole time it slept in my arms. I was eating a brownie and dropped crumbs on him. It did not seem to mind as I searched it's fur the the brownie bits.
     I took a baby Gopher Torsoise for a grazing walk. I know what plants it likes, so I look for a spot where the plants are and it is sunny. It started eating as soon as it touched the ground. Baby Gopher Torsoises seem to prefer tiny plants with round leaves. They only rarely eat grass.
