  6. Cari Amici, mentre aspetto (e tanti aspettiamo) la nuova serie di #Zerocalcare, mi stavo riguardando Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo e nel primo episodio mi sono piegata in due dalle risate a vedere l'#Armadillo in versione Man in Black.
    E mi domando: perché la mia #coscienza non ha lo stesso superpotere di cancellarmi dalla testa tutta la fuffa che c'è dentro e io come Zerocalcare mi arrampico sugli specchi per negare l'evidenza? 🤣

  11. 🌌 Armadillo bei Nacht.

    Leere Straßen
    Flackernde Lichter
    Ein Ort, der ruhig wirkt – fast verlassen

    Doch wer genauer hinsieht, weiß:
    Auch hier werden Wege gekreuzt, Entscheidungen getroffen
    und Geschichten geboren.

    Was wohl heute Nacht in Armadillo geschieht?

    This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

  21. Brazilian three-banded armadillo Tolypeutes tricinctus

    Brazilian three-banded armadillo Tolypeutes tricinctus

    Vulnerable

    Extant (resident): Brazil: Minas Gerais, Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Goiás, Tocantins, Piauí, Paraíba, Ceará, Maranhão.

    The Brazilian three-banded #armadillo Tolypeutes tricinctus, known as “tatu-bola” in Portuguese, is a rare and unique species native to #Brazil. With the ability to roll into a near-impenetrable ball, this endearing behaviour has made them an icon of conservation efforts. They are found in the dry forests and savannahs of Brazil, particularly in the #Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. These fascinating armoured creatures are Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to agricultural expansion for #palmoil, #soy and #meat. Fragmentation of their ecosystem is ongoing for infrastructure projects and #goldmining. With their population in sharp decline, efforts to protect their habitats are essential for their survival. Help them every time you shop and adopt a #vegan diet, and #BoycottPalmOil #BoycottGold #Boycott4Wildlife on social media!

    Appearance & Behaviour

    • The word “armadillo” means “little armoured one” in Spanish.
    • They are known as ‘kwaráu’ in the now extinct Huamoé language and ˈkʌ̨́ñíkį̀ in the Kambiwá language of Brazil.
    • Brazilian three-banded armadillos have a good nose and can smell termites and ants through up to 20 cm of soil.
    • Their loose armour creates a layer of air, helping them to regulate their temperature in harsh climates.
    • They are one of only two armadillo species that can roll into a tight ball.

    Brazilian three-banded armadillos are easily recognised by their distinctive armour, which is composed of bony plates known as scutes. These scutes, covered in keratinised skin, form a protective shell around the animal’s body, allowing them to roll into a tight ball when threatened. This unique defence mechanism makes them virtually immune to most natural predators in the wild – except for humans. Their compact body length of 22 to 27 cm and a weight of about 1 to 1.6 kg makes it easy for them to navigate in the forest.

    Their distinctive sharp claws and elongated snouts are perfectly adapted for foraging for ants and termites. Although primarily solitary, they sometimes travel in small family groups. They keep their noses to the ground sniffing out insects and move in a deliberate cautious way. Unlike other burrowing armadillos they prefer to hide in bushes for shelter and camouflage.

    Threats

    Deforestation for palm oil, soy and meat agriculture

    Forest and grassland destruction for soy, palm oil, sugar cane and meat plantations is a serious threat. This has drastically reduced the Brazilian three-banded armadillo’s range in the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes.

    Human encroachment for infrastructure projects

    The Brazilian three-banded armadillo is impervious to many natural threats in their environment. However, infrastructure projects, roads, housing have become a significant threat to their survival.

    Illegal hunting

    Brazilian three-banded armadillos are hunted for their skins and meat.

    Conservation

    Conservation efforts for the Brazilian three-banded armadillo are indirect and focused on habitat protection rather than direct intervention. Protected areas within the Cerrado and Caatinga offer some refuge for the species. Yet large portions of their habitat remains at risk for deforestation.

    Habitat

    Resilient and tough, this armadillo has adapted over millions of years to thrive in harsh landscapes of poor rainfall and poor soil. Brazilian three-banded armadillos are found primarily in the northeastern regions of Brazil, inhabiting the open savannahs of the Cerrado and the dry woodlands of the Caatinga.

    Diet

    Brazilian three-banded armadillos are primarily insectivores, relying heavily on ants and termites as their main food source. Sharp claws allow them to dig into insect nests, and they use their long, sticky tongues to collect the prey. Occasionally they supplement their diet with molluscs, worms, fruit, and carrion.

    Mating and breeding

    The breeding season occurs between October and January. After a gestation period of approximately 120 days, females give birth to a single pup. Newborns are born blind, and their armour remains soft and pliable in the first weeks of life. A young armadillo’s shell hardens by week four. By this time they will be capable of protective rolling into a ball and walking. They are weaned by 10 weeks of age and reach reproductive maturity between 9 and 12 months.

    great pic!
    The straight dark lines in the center of the take look like "artificial".
    Some Pythagoras at work their!

    Do you have an idea of the specific species and age in any case?

    Here a real life take of some brother in law of the fellow you depicted but out here, some where around the corner:

    This was taken free hand from about 50cm or one and a half meters away with an adapted Canon FD lense.

    You even can see the scratches of #Waicano's teeth on the carapace.
