To fortify their image, they wear armor (also called carapace) made of hard, bony plates. Of the 20 different species, some have transverse bands in the middle of their bodies, but others do not. The number of such bands each species has often becomes part of its name. For example, the three-banded armadillo has three bands. Likewise, the six-banded armadillo has six bands. The nine-banded armadillo, however, does not always follow the rule. It may have eight or nine bands. Armadillos live in grasslands or forested areas. Originally, they were restricted to South America. Yet, throughout the course of thousands of years, two managed to expand their habitats to include Central America as well. The two species are the northern naked-tailed armadillo and the nine-banded armadillo. While the former has been content with its newfound territory ever since it arrived in Central America, the latter was not satisfied. In the 1800s, the nine-banded armadillo made its debut in the United States, deeming it the only armadillo species found in North America. The nine-banded armadillo now thrives in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and several other southern states.

By Lore Sj¶berg I won't be able to supply a column this week because of the holiday. Most people don't know this, but the word "holiday" comes from John Henry "Doc" Holliday, the famous gunfighter. He was famous for shooting someone every single day, rain or shine. Not always just one person of course, but at least one person. Some days it would be 11:30 at night and he had gotten caught up in something like oil painting or alphabetizing his snuff cans, and he'd suddenly realize that he hadn't shot anyone, so he'd have to quickly head down to the saloon and pick a fight.

Home Services Prices Photos ... Contact Us Choose Animal Raccoons Squirrels Opossum Armadillos ... Dead Orlando Armadillo Control Armadillos are a common wildlife pest species in Orlando, Florida. The biggest problem that they cause is that they dig up people's yards: Large burrow under the house Little holes all over the yard Tunnel caused crack in foundation Tunnel destroyed pipes under home For the above reasons, it's often a good idea to have nuisance armadillos trapped and removed from the property. This is the only effective control means. ARMADILLO BEHAVIOR: Armadillos are primarily nocturnal, although in cooler weather, they will emerge during daylight hours. They spend most of their time underground, sleeping in their burrows. These burrows are usually 8 or so inches in diameter, and usually dug under cover or around structure. This is why it's so common to find armadillo burrows next to homes or under AC units or oil tanks. Armadillos often have several burrows, and will visit most of the burrows in their range periodically, digging them ever deeper. When armadillos emerge from the burrows, they spend most of their time rooting around and sniffing for earthworms and grubs to dig up and eat. They usually won't eat food on the surface of the ground, and this is why there's no good bait to use to trap armadillos. MY ARMADILLO PHOTOS - Click any below image for larger photo and more info.

Armadillos in Europe Welcome to N.A.P.A.K Armadillos In European Animal-Keeping During the past ten years or so armadillos of several species have become more commonly kept and bred within Europe, both on zoological institutions and in private collections. Although various species have a long history within European animal-keeping – especially the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) which has been used as a research model particularly for leprosy studies for many years – it is only relatively recently that consistent breeding has been achieved. In the first section of this article I hope to give a summary of the current situation in Europe concerning the holding and breeding of the various armadillo species, to refer back to species that have previously be held in captivity in Europe (in some cases albeit for very limited periods) and to project forward to see what may transpire in the coming decade. In the second section I will consider typical husbandry regimes for the maintenance and breeding of armadillo species, using knowledge gleaned from private keepers and zoos and drawing-upon, wherever possible, my personal experience with six species. The later including the successful breeding of the Three-banded Armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus) of which our first success – a delightful male by the name of Dillon – now stars in Edinburgh Zoo’s Education Department’s demonstrations. A further pair of this species – supplied by us to another NAPAK member, Scott Gendall – have themselves gone on to already produce a young male of their own.

Contact Sign up for our Email Newsletter Armadillos Dasypodidae novemcintus Trapping Armadillos WARNING: Before starting on any trapping endeavor be sure that you know and understand all the wildlife laws as they pertain to your activity. Ignorance is no excuse. You should also make sure that you are properly protected from diseases. Trapping is a risky activity, especially if you are not familiar with wildlife. Get educated before you do anything. Otherwise, hire a professional Take a raccoon size single door cage trap (32"x10"x12") and add wings to the sides to help funnel the armadillo into the trap. Since armadillos can't see well, they simply bump into the boards and are funneled into the trap. The boards used for the wings should be 8 inches wide. Although I have never personally trapped an armadillo, I understand that you had better make sure the cage trap is a strong one as they are known to damage cage traps. The longer the wings the better. Don't buy cheap traps. I would recommend the Springloaded raccoon trap as a minimum standard. With these wings you don't even need to bait the trap. If you decide to bait use meal worms or rotted fruit. see below

THE BEGINNING OF THE ARMADILLOS HIS, O Best Beloved, is another story of the High and Far-Off Times. In the very middle of those times was a Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog, and he lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon, eating shelly snails and things. And he had a friend, a Slow-Solid Tortoise, who lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon, eating green lettuces and things. And so that was all right, Best Beloved. Do you see? But also, and at the same time, in those High and Far-Off Times, there was a Painted Jaguar, and he lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon too; and he ate everything that he could catch. When he could not catch deer or monkeys he would eat frogs and beetles; and when he could not catch frogs and beetles he went to his Mother Jaguar, and she told him how to eat hedgehogs and tortoises. She said to him ever so many times, graciously waving her tail, 'My son, when you find a Hedgehog you must drop him into the water and then he will uncoil, and when you catch a Tortoise you must scoop him out of his shell with your paw.' And so that was all right, Best Beloved. One beautiful night on the banks of the turbid Amazon, Painted Jaguar found Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog and Slow-Solid Tortoise sitting under the trunk of a fallen tree. They could not run away, and so Stickly-Prickly curled himself up into a ball, because he was a Hedgehog, and Slow-Solid Tortoise drew in his head and feet into his shell as far as they would go, because he was a Tortoise; and so that was all right, Best Beloved. Do you see?
