Giant Armadillo (Priodontes Maximus)

Spotted at Sophia Point, this mighty giant armadillo. The giant armadillo, the largest living species of armadillo, prefers termites and some ants as prey, and often consumes the entire population of a termite mound. It also has been known to prey upon worms, larvae and larger creatures, such as spiders and snakes, and plants. Some giant armadillos have been reported to have eaten bees by digging into beehives.
