The Brazilian three-banded armadillo, Tolypeutes tricinctus, showcases its unique armor with three bands that provide protection against predators. In the vast deserts of Africa, the double-banded sandgrouse flaunts its intricate plumage as females display two striking bands on their wings. Along the streams of Karoo National Park in South Africa, a graceful adult Three-Banded Plover can be seen feeding while adorned with its distinctive triple collar pattern. Witnessing a controlled environment sequence reveals the captivating behavior of the Three-Banded Armadillo as it unfolds from its tightly curled-up protective position.

Francois Gohier's photographs offer an intimate glimpse into this armadillo's natural habitat and highlight how it thrives across various regions in South America. With each image capturing different stages of unfolding or curling up positions, we gain insight into how these remarkable creatures navigate their surroundings for survival purposes.
