The newly described animal, which was given the tongue-twisting name Parapropalaehoplophorus septentrionalis, likely weighed in at a mere 200 pounds and was covered with a massive shell of immovable armored plates, unlike the hinged rows of plates on armadillos. The fossil was found at the unusually high elevation of 14,000 feet. The thin air, scarce water, and frigid temperatures of the high Andes posed significant challenges to the researchers, but were not the conditions under which this glyptodont lived. "Our studies elsewhere on the Altiplano suggest that the region was at a much lower elevation when these fossils lived," said Flynn. "In addition to providing a look at the paleoecology of the region, this has given us new insights into the timing and rate of uplift of the Andes." Over the past decade, the team's fossil-hunting expeditions to northern Chile have discovered a diverse array of several hundred fossil mammal specimens. These animals, known collectively as the Chucal Fauna, include at least 18 species of armadillos and glyptodonts, rodents, relatives of opossums, and a variety of extinct hoofed mammals. Together with the plant fossils recovered from the same area, these suggest that northern

http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/agguides/wildlife/g09456.htm

Extractions: Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Armadillos are becoming more common in portions of Missouri, particularly in the southern and central regions of the state. Their range has been expanding in the United States since the 1850s when the armadillo moved into Texas from Mexico. Originally the species was only found in South and Central America. As populations continue to expand, the possibility of encounters with humans will increase. This publication is designed to provide general information on armadillos, their damage and their control.

Extractions: The necks and backs of giant armadillos are covered in flexible "armor" consisting of 14 to 17 moveable bands of horn and bone. Their heads are protected by a similar oval shield. Small, closely set plates of armor cover their tales. Giant armadillos are dark brown except for their heads, tails and the lower edges of their shells, which are nearly white. Giant armadillos have sparse hairs scattered between their plates. Their forefeet have large powerful claws. They are very agile and sometimes balance themselves on their hind legs and tails, with their forefeet off the ground.

Extractions: ARMADILLO What's bugging your garden? Most people consider bugs the main garden problem but until you have had varmints of some type you really haven't had a garden problem. Varmints are any critters that are not in the insect family, are warm blooded (even though they may seem cold-blooded sometimes!) and damage or destroy produce. Varmints are sneaky devils! Sometimes they disguise themselves as "cute" or precious. Some even get themselves designated as state mascots. Some folks even spend hard-earned money to buy feed to attract varmintsthe varmints eat the free food then finish the garden off for dessert. Mycobacterium leprae . I was not discouraged since poke salad greens are considered poisonous before cooked; I've eaten those for years! Yet even I lost a bit of appetite after field dressing my first prey; have you ever skinned a Volkswagon? The armadillo has the ability to climb and burrow. However, a fence slanted outward at a 40-degree angle, with a portion buried, is a deterrent to their entrance. Unfortunately, there are no repellents known to be effective. Trapping may be the best solution. Armadillos can be captured in Havahart or Tomahawk traps. The best locations to set traps are along pathways to their burrows and along fences or other barriers where the animals may travel. If bait is to be used, use over-ripe or spoiled fruit. Other suggested baits are fetid meats or meal worms. Leftovers can be used but the danger exists of killing the trappee. However, some people report if you feed them leftovers long enough they may leave on their own accord! I can identify with that!

It is very ancient, in a family similar to anteaters. They have the unique advantage of wearing a suit of armor, made of bone-like material. They thrive in warm climates with soft soil, such as Texas and Florida. They dig for all of their food, which consists primarily of grubs and earthworms. They also dig large, deep burrows into the ground in which they live and raise young. Armadillos always have identical quadruplets. They have an excellent sense of smell. When startled, they often jump straight up, then run surprisingly fast. They are usually about two feet long and about 12 pounds as adults. They are primarily nocturnal, but sometimes emerge after a rain or in cool weather. Nuisance concerns: Armadillos are expert diggers. They can cause serious damage to a lawn or a nicely landscaped area. However, most of the calls I get regarding armadillos involve their large burrows. They often dig holes in undesirable places, such as underneath a concrete porch, the foundation of a house, or near gas/water lines. If they remove too much dirt from under a concrete foundation, the foundation faces the danger of cracking. Their burrows also attract other animals. If you see a large hole on your property with a lot of dirt thrown out, that's the work of an armadillo. They need to be trapped.

Extractions: Any of several omnivorous, burrowing, edentate mammals (family Dasypodidae), native to southern North America and South America and characterized by an armorlike covering consisting of jointed, bony plates. Armadillo Armadillo, armored mammal, related to anteaters and sloths. They are found in South and Central America and in southern parts of North America. The layer of horn and bony plates that protect the animal against predators is formed by the ossification of skin. In most species the plates are movable and articulated, so that the animal can curl up to protect its abdomen. The armadillo moves relatively quickly, and with its strong feet and thick claws it can also burrow quickly. Nocturnal, armadillos feed on insects and worms and sometimes on carrion. Fossil remains of gigantic extinct armadillos have been found in the Pleistocene strata of South America.

http://www.ksr.ku.edu/libres/Mammals_of_Kansas/roadkill.html

Extractions: Description Size : Adults may attain the following dimensions: total length 693-763 mm; tail 254-373 mm; hind foot 65-90 mm; ear 32-40 mm; weight 3.2-4.5 kilograms. Range and Habitat : Nine-banded armadillos are now abundant in southern Kansas and breed in the southern tier of counties. They are seen occasionally in the northern half of the State. They are extending their range northward, and are found as far north as southern Nebraska. The northernmost breeding populations are in southern Kansas. The species is most commonly found among trees where it searches for food among the leaves and debris on the forest floor. Where they are found in abundance, they sometimes cause damage to flower beds and gardens as they forage for beetle larvae. Reproduction : Breeding occurs in July or August, but there is no development of the embryos for about 100 days. When cell division begins, one individual cell divides once to form two cells which separate and these two cells divide to form four genetically identical cells. Each of these separate cells then begins to divide to form four embryos, each embryo of necessity begin of the same sex. Gestation is 120 days and between February and April four relatively large young (identical quadruplets) are born underground in a nest of grass and dry leaves. The newborn are without armour and the shell is not fully formed until they are adults. The eyes are open at birth and the young are capable of moving about. After two months they are weaned but continue to forage with the female until she breeds later in the summer. Sexual maturity is attained at about one year of age.

Extractions: "Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way." John Muir The armadilloÂ is Â a mammal classified as a toothless animal or an Edentatas . Yet ironically some armadillos have as many as 90 teeth and more than any other mammalian species. Their closest relatives are sloths and anteaters . Contrary to popular belief, the armadillo is neither a rodent nor a marsupial and is not related to the opossum in any way. Armadillos are found in grasslands and open forests from the southern United States through most of South America. There are twenty different species of armadillos, all ranging greatly in size. The smallest, the pink fairy armadillo, comes from the plains of western Argentina. It measures about six inches and weighs only about three ounces. As you might guess, the giant armadillo is the largest species. It can be found in the eastern portion of South America and measures up to five feet and weighs up to 130 pounds. Armored digging machines Like a suit of armor, the armadilloâs back and tail is covered with large, solid plates of skin-covered bone.

http://www.technologyreview.com/article/18020/

Extractions: Credit: Courtesy of the MIT Museum At the formal opening of Senior House on June 11, 1949, the building soon to be renamed Baker House (in honor of dean of students Everett Moore Baker) was touted as more than a residence: it was a "new concept in community living." In addition to accommodating 353 students, the dormitory offered a plethora of gathering spots: a large dining room with "moon garden" skylights, lounges on each floor, a game room with a fireplace, and a music-listening area. By today's standards, that may not sound like anything special, but MIT was then largely a commuter school. As World War II veterans returned, enrollment skyrocketed; by 1949 more than 400 students lived in temporary barracks. Baker House, commissioned in 1946 from renowned Finnish architect and visiting professor Alvar Aalto, was meant to ease the housing crunch. Aalto departed from the "International Style" of architecture then in voguerectilinear structures of steel, reinforced concrete, and glass. Instead, he created a wave-shaped building that used natural materials like brick, wood, and terra-cotta tiles. Thanks to the building's sinuous form, there are 22 different room shapes on a typical, 43-room floor. Students dubbed the smallest rooms "coffins," and wedge-shaped rooms along the building's curves became known as "pies." The interior wood furnishings designed by Aalto and his wife Aino have nicknames too: elephants, armadillos, and giraffes are Baker lingo for armoires, cabinets, and bookshelves.

Armadillos were first noted in Alabama in the 1940s around Mobile County. Since then they have expanded their range to 59 of Alabama's 67 counties. Only the rocky, mountainous region of northeastern Alabama is without armadillos. As armadillo populations expand, the possibility of negative encounters with humans increases. This publication is designed to give you some general information on armadillos, their damage, and their control. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is so named because of the nine moveable rings of armor between the shoulder and the hip shields. It has a long tail that is also protected by rings of armor. Three toe prints and sharp claw marks are typical of armadillo tracks. Armadillos are about the size of opossums.

Armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus The armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ) is a rather interesting and unusual animal that has a protective armor of âhornyâ material on its head, body, and tail. This bony armor has nine movable rings between the shoulder and hip shield. The head is small with a long, narrow, pig-like snout. Canine and incisor teeth are absent. The peg-like cheek teeth range in number from seven to nine on each side of the upper and lower jaw. The long tapering tail is encased in 12 bony rings. The track usually appears to be three-toed and shows sharp claw marks. The armadillo is about the size of an opossum, weighing from 8 to 17 pounds (3.5 to 8 kg).

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.
