61. Armadillo - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
    Outline from Wikipedia of the classification of the family Dasypodidae and the habitat and physiology of its ten genera and twenty species.  
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo
    
    Extractions: Illiger Families Armadillos are small placental mammals , known for having a bony armor shell. The Dasypodidae are the only surviving family in the order Cingulata . Until as recently as 1995, the family was placed in the order Xenarthra , along with the anteaters and sloths . The word armadillo is Spanish for "little armored one". There are approximately 10 extant genera and around 20 extant species of armadillo, some of which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armor. Their average length is about 75 centimeters (30 in), including tail; the Giant Armadillo reaches roughly 90 cm (3 ft), while the Pink Fairy Armadillos are diminutive species with an overall length of 12–15 cm (4–5 in). All species are native to the Americas , where they inhabit a variety of environments.

    Extractions: Bookmark (Could not load Flash movie.) Armadillos are very unique mammals. They are the only mammal with a shell, and this armor is composed of overlapping bony plates called scutes. They have poor eyesight, an excellent sense of smell, and strong legs. Armadillos use their legs to dig into the ground for worms, insects, reptiles, and small mammals. They also dig borrows which they live in.

    Extractions: Armadillo The nine-banded armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ) is an odd-looking mammal covered with armored plates, and is about the size of a cat. Armadillos are not native to Florida, but are now common over most of the state. Armadillos like forested or semi-open habitats with loose textured soil that allows them to dig easily. They dig burrows for homes or to escape predators. They eat many insects, or other invertebrates, and some plants. They most often feed at night, and have very poor eyesight. Armadillos prolific rooting and burrowing can severely damage lawns and flower-beds. To reduce armadillo damage to your lawn keep watering and fertilization to a minimum. Moist soil and lush vegetation bring earth worms and insect larvae (armadillo candy!) to the surface of the soil. Armadillos can sometimes be enticed to move by watering areas adjacent to the damage site. Armadillos can also be excluded from small areas of extensive damage with fencing at least 2 feet high and with bottom buried at least 18 inches deep. It is lawful for a landowner to live-trap or humanely destroy nuisance armadillos although they are difficult to capture with live traps. Armadillos are not considered native to Florida and are, therefore, illegal to transport and release.

    Extractions: View blog authority Section Archive The studies were completed in June and compared various Specialized tires against offerings from other leading manufacturers in an all-too-real situation: researchers rode five different tires 12 times each through a wooden trough lined with jagged glass shards. Of the tires tested, only the Specialized Armadillo survived without a flat. While no pneumatic tire is 100 percent flatproof, the Armadillo flat-prevention technology has proven so effective that Specialized is now offering an unconditional guarantee on all 2000 model year tires. If any Armadillo tire ever flats in use, the company will replace the tube free. Consumers can write to Specialized describing how a puncture occurred along with tire size and tube type to receive a replacement tube at no charge. The best "How I flatted an Armadillo" stories will even be posted on the company's Web site at www.specialized.com. Specialized says its no-fault replacement offer is good through Sept. 1, 2001.

66. Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus Novemcinctus)
    Detailed species account from The Mammals of Texas.  
    http://www.nsrl.ttu.edu/tmot1/dasynove.htm
    
    Extractions: Order Xenarthra : Family Dasypodidae : Dasypus novemcinctus (Linnaeus) Description. About the size of a terrier dog, upperparts encased in a bony carapace with large shields on shoulders and rump and nine bands in between; front feet with four toes, middle two longest; hind foot five-toed, the middle three longest, all provided with large, strong claws; tail long, tapering and completely covered by bony rings; color brownish, the scattered hairs yellowish white. There are 30 or 32 peglike teeth. External measurements average: total length, 760 mm; tail, 345 mm; hind foot, 85 mm. Weight of adult males, 5-8 kg; females, 4-6 kg. Distribution in Texas. Occurs throughout much of the state; absent from the western Trans-Pecos. Habits. Armadillos are fond of water; where climatic conditions tend to be arid, the animals concentrate in the vicinity of streams and water holes. Tracks in the mud around small ponds give evidence that the armadillos visit them not only for purposes of drinking and feeding, but also to take mud baths. Excess water, however, has a limiting effect on them because they avoid marshy areas. Few animals of comparable size have so many dens per individual as the armadillo. The length, depth, and frequency of occurrence of their burrows depend somewhat upon soil conditions. In sandy areas the animals are extremely active diggers; in addition to numerous occupied burrows, one finds many that have been abandoned or are used only occasionally as shelters. In central Texas, the majority of their dens are along creek banks whereas in the sandy soils of eastern Texas they are found almost everywhere. On the coastal prairies the sandy knolls are especially sought as den sites more because of protection from floods than because of ease of digging. In the Edwards Plateau natural caves, cracks, and crevices among the limestone outcroppings afford abundant shelter; excavated burrows are few in number and usually shallow.

    Extractions: Closely related to anteaters and sloths, armadillos generally have a pointy or shovel-shaped snout and small eyes. They vary widely in size and color, from the 6-inch-long (15-centimeter-long), salmon-colored pink fairy armadillo to the 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long), dark-brown giant armadillos. Others have black, red, gray, or yellowish coloring.

68. Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus Novemcinctus)
    Information about the Ninebanded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), a species found in the State of Texas.  
    http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/species/dillo/
    
    Extractions: The Nine-banded Armadillo is a cat-sized, armored, insect-eating mammal. Similar in form to an anteater, the bony, scaled shell of the armadillo protects it from attacks by predators. Unfortunately, armadillos often fall victim to automobiles and are frequently found dead on roadsides. Armadillos are prolific diggers. They dig many burrows, as well as dig for food. The animal will not survive in areas where the soil is too hard to dig. Many other wildlife species use and benefit from abandoned armadillo burrows. Although breeding occurs in July, the embryo remains in a dormant state until November. Four young are born in a burrow in March. All four young, always of the same sex, are identical quadruplets and developed from the same egg. They even share a single placenta while in the womb. Armadillos are the only mammals in which multiple young form from a single egg with any regularity.

    Extractions: Site Search Keywords Mammals Armadillo Arkansas' nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a stranger in a strange land.  It's one of the state's most unusual mammals, and it's the most recent arrival. Armadillos evolved in South and Central America. The nine banded armadillo is the gypsy of the family.  It's wandered farther and farther north during the past several hundred years, colonizing in Texas and moving as far north as Colorado and as far east as Mississippi..  No one is certain how long the nine banded armadillo has lived in Arkansas. The first recorded armadillo report dates back to 1921.  It now occurs in every county. However, the armadillo's tropical roots show in its poor tolerance for cold. Arkansas' occasional hard winters prevent its becoming numerous in the northern half of the state. The armadillo is the only North American mammal with a covering of hard, bony plates. Its head, 'possum size body and tail are all armored. Only the belly shows soft, light colored skin. The central portion of the body is encircled by nine moveable rings - hence the name.  Above, it's a brownish black color with widely scattered hairs and yellowish spots on the sides.  It has a long, pointed snout and a narrow head topped with erect, funnel shaped ears.  Adult armadillos may weight from 8 to 17 pounds. Armadillos like to burrow, and they're good at it. So good, in fact, they often run into trouble with humans who take a dim view of 'diller digs in the middle of their lawns and golf courses. Burrows afford armadillos protection from temperatures. They also provide the same benefits for rabbits, skunks, opossums and other animals.

    Texas wildlife identification and viewing guide Ninebanded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).  
    http://www.wildtexas.com/wildguides/armadillo.php
    
    Extractions: See more photos at OutdoorPhoto.com The armadillo is a curious-looking creature, its twelve-pound body almost entirely covered with jointed, armor-like plates. Armadillos range in color from brownish-black to gray. Native to Central and South America, the nine-banded armadillo first appeared in Texas in the late 19th century. Today, the armadillo's range includes Texas and the southeastern United States. Armadillos are often visible while foraging during the summer months, or as the unfortunate victims of "roadkill" along highways and busy streets. Despite their small size, armadillos are quite noisy when rooting through forest duff in search of insects, worms, and berries. They use their sharp claws for digging and finding food. Gifted with a keen sense of smell, armadillos have extremely poor eyesight. Upon sensing danger, armadillos scurry off to safety at a frantic pace. Adding to its peculiar appearance, the armadillo also has the unique ability to make itself buoyant when the necessity to cross deep or expansive water arises. In shallow waterways, dillos simply walk underwater on the bottom to the opposite side!

    Extractions: The Wildlife Patrol armadillo photo gallery has some of our favorite photos of this critter that we've taken over the years. Signs of Armadillo Digging Armadillo dig 2 types of holes - feeding holes and shelter holes. The shelter holes are called burrows and can extend up to 15ft.. The surface holes are cone-shaped and dug as the critter grazes for grubs. Removing and Preventing Armadillos Wildlife Patrol removes Orlando armadillos through trapping and by hand when possible. Armadillos are not a dangerous animal, but searching their burrows can be dangerous if other animals - ie diamondback rattlesnakes - have taken over their burrow. Is there any way to prevent their digging? Armadillos distress Florida homeowners with their ferocious digging abilities. Nice, neat lawn one day... nice, neat holes the next. Armadillos rip up flower beds and fresh sod in their pursuit of grubs. These critters dig burrows for temporary shelter. If the burrow extends under a building, the concrete foundation may be compromised. Follow the links below to learn more and see why our company provides the best
