Although this was the best photo I managed (such as it is!), we did get a better view than this suggests - the armadillo was stirring and kept shifting round - sometimes sticking its head out, more often its backside!
The Palms Tropical Oasis will close permanently on 5th September 2010. Not a major zoo but always reliably interesting and somewhere I've been going for years. I made my final visit after spending the morning at Hillside. So long, old chum.
