What is this?

The guy with the red head was much more spooky and took off quickly.
I thought perhaps this guy was a younger version.

Thanks for the help, I had never heard of these guys before.

Zero plans to play with them roadside or with my windshield.

One more new species added to the list. (y)
 
@cpr0312 Which would be why I got to see it up close in the first place.

I am pretty sure this is an Armadillo.

Also called "Possum on the half shell" if you are closer to redneck country
Have a wonderful habit of jumping straight up when startled, especially by a vehicle traveling over them.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
