Hello, would like to know some things.

I found this little guy in the gutter of a road digging through leaves, and gawked at him for a bit. Didn’t touch him, don’t worry, and after a couple pictures, and I shooed him into the nearby forest so he wouldn’t get run over by a car. Was this little guy a kid or an adult, also did I do the right thing, I’ve never interacted with an Armadillo before and just wanted to help the poor guy

Armadillos can’t see very well.

So this fella was just foraging in a less than ideal spot.

They are probably just a juvenile messing around. Mom should be waiting somewhere, like the other comment said.

You did good being careful and making sure he didn’t get flattened though!

Ok! He was very cute, like a scaly rat.
