I visited Crescent Bend Nature Park in San Antonio, Texas (Scherts). While looking at the scenery, I noticed something moving. Was it a rabbit? An opossum? As it gradually inched closer while snuffling through the grass, I noticed its distinctive scaly tale. It was, in fact, a small armadillo.

This is the second armadillo appearance at The New Leaf Journal. The first appearance came in the inaugural Justin and Justina dialogue (our fictional dialogue duo), wherein Justina brought Justin a stuffed armadillo after he was injured in a minor traffic accident (Justina was immune to the dark humor of the stuffed animal choice).
