His armour is a little fancier than what our Florida Armadillos have.

Majdo, this one was sighted in Punta Norte, Peninsula Valdes, Argentina. Peninsula Valdes is an amazing place. It is a mecca for south Atlantic marine wildlife. The peninsula is an UNESCO world heritage site. Check this link to learn a little more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdes_Peninsula
