“While digging, the armadillo loosens the soil with its forefeet and pointed snout. When a small pile has accumulated under the belly, it balances on its forefeet and tail. Arching its back, it brings the hind feet over the pile. Then a quick kick backward sends the dirt flying a couple of feet and the armadillo is ready to dig several inches more.”
Cahalane presenta all of the species of North American mammals. This beautifully illustrated, complete guide is written in a popular, often humorous, style, backed by scientific authority.
