Trapping the Nine-banded Armadillo Dr. Russell F. Mizell, III , Professor of Entomology NFREC-Quincy , 155 Research Road, Quincy, FL 32351 The nine-banded or long-nosed armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus , is a common but non-native inhabitant of Florida and the only armadillo present in the U.S. Because of its often destructive feeding and burrowing habits in both rural and urban settings, most people who have an armadillo around their home consider it a serious pest. There are actually about 20 species of armadillos in the world and for information on the biology and behavior of these interesting critters I highly recommend the Web site http://www.msu.edu/~nixonjos/armadillo Adult nine-banded armadillo. My purpose here is to demonstrate a successful method of capturing and removing armadillos in an effective, safe and humane manner. While the nine-banded armadillo plays a useful ecological role by consuming large quantities of insects as food, when they take up residence in your yard, garden or worse, dig burrows under your buildings, they can be very destructive and an extreme nuisance. Armadillos are usually active at night, but do forage in the early morning and evening hours. In my yard in north Florida, I have observed a family of young armadillos (see image below) foraging on an overcast day in mid afternoon. Full grown armadillos can dig large holes in the soil and in one night of foraging can ruin large patches of lawn or garden. I often encounter problems with armadillos the night after I spend time working in my garden. They dig around (and destroy) newly-planted flowers that I watered right after planting, particularly during dry weather. Suppressing the insect populations in the lawn will help reduce armadillo damage, but this effort has its own negative side effects if certain pesticides are used.

ORDER XENARTHRA This order, formerly Edentata, includes armadillos, anteaters and sloths. All are found exclusively in the New World, although fossils are known from the Eocene of Europe and possibly Asia. In fact, some researchers believe Xenarthrans may have been distributed worldwide in the Cretaceous but evidently became restricted to South America and remained there for most of their history, evolving into numerous groups. The former order name (meaning "lacking teeth") is a misnomer, since only the anteaters lack teeth. In fact, the giant armadillo may have as many as 100 teeth. The name Xenarthra means "strange joint", referring to the extra articulations (called xenarthrales) found between the vertebrae connections. These are insect eaters with degenerate teeth, consuming their prey whole without chewing using long mucus-covered tongues. It is believed that the sloths, anteaters, and armadillos diverged at least 75-80 million years ago and that they are at least as distinct from one another as are carnivores, bats, and primates. Work by Sarich (1985) suggests that the Xenarthra separated from other placental mammals prior to the evolution of the latter into modern orders. Earliest species are known to exist in the Paleocene, 55 million years ago.

The legend says that the Mayan Sun God sat the two unruly gods down on a bench before all the other gods. The bench was suddenly altered into a pair of armadillos, which immediately jumped up in the airtumbling the two disobedient gods onto their backsides in disgrace (Gilbert, 1995). I'm not familiar with Mayan legends, but I do know that armadillos are known for jumping vertically into the air. Armadillos are also known to be unique mammals because they have managed to migrate within a remarkable range. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is an unevenly distributed mammal ranging from northern Argentina to the southern United States. The nine-banded armadillo is the only species out of 20, today, that inhabits the southern portion of the United States. The armadillo, which is considered to be an ancient and primitive species, is one of the only living remnants of the order Xenarthra.

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 armadillo’s back and tail is covered with large, solid plates of skin-covered bone. As armadillos grow older, their young soft leathery skin hardens.

Home Services Prices Pests ... Contact Armadillo Info: The Nine-Banded Armadillo is an unusual creature. 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 are not native to Florida, but thrive in this warm climate with soft soil. 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 and can cause serious damage to a lawn or a landscaped area. However, most of the calls I get regarding dillos involve their large burrows. They often dig their 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. Armadillo 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. There is no effective armadillo repellent available. They need to be

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).

Nature Armadillos Nature's True Survivors: 'Dillos The sound of leaves rustling in winter wouldn't excite everyone. But Dr. Lynn Robbins, a Southwest Missouri State University biology professor, isn't everyone. When Robbins heard crunching leaves recently in Taney County at the university field station, he ran to investigate. He found a scrawny armadillo sniffing about in the leaves. It was using its narrow snout to search for food. This was very exciting, he said, because the animal should not have been here at all. Robbins was surprised to find the animal because research shows armadillos should not have survived the severe conditions of this past winter. In fact, the winter's snow had melted only a week before he spotted it at the field station. Before the day was over, Robbins said he spotted three other skinny armadillos while working at the Field Station. All were slow to react to him, which he attributed to the animals' lack of energy from the cold and lack of food. Armadillos are found all over the southeast and south central United States, and have traveled as far north as Missouri. They first arrived in Missouri in the early 1980s. By last summer, many had made their homes in Southern Missouri. Biologists thought that the harsh winter might have killed many of them.

Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Facts about Armadillos Armadillos are small mammals from the family Dasypodidae, closely related to the sloth and the anteater. Here are some interesting facts about these unique creatures... Armadillos are omnivorous animals, mostly found in South America and central parts of the United States. There are 20 different breeds of armadillos and each breed is named according to its physical characteristics. Some of the breeds include the nine-banded armadillo, giant armadillo, large hairy armadillo, three-banded armadillo, pink fairy armadillo, six-banded armadillo, northern naked-tailed armadillo and pichi or dwarf armadillo. The smallest armadillo is the pink fairy armadillo, which is 6 inches in height and the largest one is the giant armadillo which can be 1.5 meters (5 ft.) in height. The average life expectancy of an armadillo is 12-15 years. Physical Characteristics of Armadillos Armadillos are said to have evolved from huge, bony-shelled animals called glyptodon and panochthus. Comparatively, the present-day armadillo is a smaller creature, but it has retained the hard shell of its ancient counterparts. The name armadillo is a Spanish word which means "little armored one", because its shell looks like an armor, comprising of many small bones. Armadillos have short legs, but they can move pretty fast in times of danger. Their outer shell helps them move faster in dense forests, without getting hurt.

Armadillos The word "armadillo" is of Spanish origin and refers to the armor-like covering of these animals. The skin is remarkably modified to provide a double-layered covering of horn and bone over most of the upper surface and sides of the animals, and some protection to the under parts and limbs. Young look like miniature adults when they're born, and within a few days their leathery skin hardens into armor. Under parts are covered with soft-haired skin. Hair sometimes projects from under the side plates. The nine-banded armadillo 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.

Download PDF Publication #WEC 76 Topics: Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Armadillos Hostetler, Mark E Schaefer, Joseph The Nine-banded Armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus) Joseph M. Schaefer and Mark E. Hostetler Armadillos are prehistoric-looking animals that belong to a family of mammals found primarily in Central and South America. The earliest fossil ancestor of our North American armadillo occurred about 60 million years ago; it was as large as a rhinoceros. Our present-day nine-banded or long-nosed armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus , is much smaller; adults normally weigh from 8-17 pounds (3.5-8 kilograms) (Figure 1). This species occurs in Texas and east, throughout the South. It occasionally is found in Missouri and South Carolina. However, cold weather limits the northern boundary of the armadillo's range. Figure 1. The nine-banded armadillo. Photo by Bill Kern. Armadillos were not always present in Florida. During the past century, they expanded their range from Texas into the Florida panhandle. From 1920 to about 1970, there were several introductions of armadillos into the Atlantic coast region of Florida. Then the panhandle and peninsular populations expanded until they merged. Armadillos are now found in uplands throughout Florida, except in the Keys and parts of the Everglades and Big Cypress swamp. Description Armadillos have a shield-like shell covered with horny scales. Joints in the shell are flexible, which enable the animal to bend and twist. Only the ears and belly of the armadillo are without bony armor (Figure 2). These peculiar animals have 28-32 peg-like teeth in simple rows well back in the mouth. There are no front teeth. Armadillos have poor eyesight and hearing, but a keen sense of smell. Both males and females are about the same size, look alike, and have similar habits. Despite their awkward appearance, armadillos are agile runners and good swimmers, and even have the ability to walk underwater across small streams.

We're excited about that. They even even have a show coming up on October 17 at the Opolis in Norman, OK. Anvil Salute is doing much the same, but without the shows and at a much slower pace. It's been a while. Anvil Salute is sort of a recording/performing break. Locust Avenue is beginning to record their fourth full-length. Here's a video: Respectfully, Cucumber Calm from Brad Fielder on Vimeo Last minute note. Due to illness and unaccomodating schedules, the Anvil Salute diaspora will not be coming back to Norman this weekend. Given those problems, we'ce decided to cancel the show at MainSite this weekend. We will be rescheduling when everyone is more readily available. I think it will probably be this summer. Speaking of shows, it's almost time for the 3rd Norman Music Festival . Both Locust Avenue and Anvil Salute are playing this year. Both groups are playing Saturday, April 24. Locust Avenue will be playing the Opolis stage at 8pm. Anvil Salute is playing at Michelangelo's at 9pm, and if you're keeping track, Brad Fielder, Anvil Salute drummer, is playing a solo set at 6pm at Michelangelo's as well.
