When homeowners in Illinois see a freshly dug hole in their lawn, few suspect it’s an armadillo. But in recent decades, these small, armored animals have established populations as far north as southern Illinois and Indiana.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission wants people to report their armadillo sightings to the NC Armadillo project. Armadillos aren’t supposed to be in the Southeastern US, but have been spotted since 2007.
