Cool animal. They look even cooler when they stick their tongue out!
Do you happen to also have one showing him from the side?

Oooo, nice one! I have only ever seen these at the Detroit Zoo, and they were so far away I couldn't get a good picture, despite waiting for a loooong time in the hope they would come closer to the viewing area. This pic shows so much detail, like its markings, its pointy nose, big feet etc.

Sorry I don't... This critter turned and walked back to the back of its enclosure behind cover.

They are kind of tricky to shoot.
