I've always been a massive fan of vultures! They're just so huge and stunning! 🦅

Monday had me like... 😐 One of the few species of armadillo that can close all the way into a “ball” - The three-banded armadillo knows how to close out the rest of the world. The “shell” is actually bony plates covered in skin & keratin and it is very much part of the armadillos body.... And guess wha!? That “shell” can also be used as a defensive weapon! When under attack the three-banded armadillo will ball up. Classic move, right? But sometimes they mix it up and leave a little opening big enough for a predator to put a paw or nose in. As the predator tries to pry the shell of the armadillo open, the little armadillo will close down with painful force! Not today predator. Not today. . . . . . #MondayMood #Armadillo #AnimalFact #ThreeBandedArmadillo #SanDiegoZoo #wildlife_seekers #wildlife_addicts #zookeeper #SanDiego #naptime #AmazingAnimals #Monday #animallovers #igscwildlife #animales #zookeeper #exclusive_animals #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifephotography #animalworld #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeplanet #WildlifeEducation #animalsaddict #Planet_of_Animals #planet_of_animals #animal_in_world #TheZooSD (at San Diego Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pdL89n4l5/?igshid=1ga3i0am0x0fw
