A Prehistoric Dinosaur Egg?
This is from Clara and my Girl Scout overnight at the zoo over the weekend and the first critter that we got to meet.
Any guesses? Doesn't it look prehistoric?
It is a 6 Banded Armadillo named Bocce.
She was super cute all rolled up in a ball for protection.
Happy Sunday!

I would never have guessed that it was a living thing. It looks more like a seedpod of some kind. What a perfect name for it and a superb picture of it with nice sharp detail

I've known the game, but didn't realize it was Italian. All the good stuff is...pizza, spaghetti, my husband:)!

Yes, 100%, but third generation American. He married me a mutt, so our kids are 50% Italian. Must make it to Italy someday!
