Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Suckin' Up Semis

Suckin' up Semis


Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor darkhairedgirl.

It's a giant armadillo and it's hungry! Looks as if it prefers fast moving semis for a quick snack as opposed to its normal formicivorous diet!

Armadillo is Spanish for "little armored one" and the early Texas German settlers had a name for them too, Panzerschwein which translates to "armored pig."
