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.

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.
