Nine-banded Armadillo
Dasypus novemcinctus
Description
Body Length: 15-17 in. Tail: 14-16 in. Weight: 8-17 lbs. 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. A prolific digger, armadillos dig many burrows, as well as dig for food. Distribution is often determined by soil conditions, since the animal will not survive in areas where the soil is too hard to dig. Many other wildlife species use and benefit from these abandoned burrows. Although occasionally considered a nuisance by home owners, the armadillo's habit of digging up lawns is driven by its appetite for grubs, which can also harm lawns.
Life History
Eats insects and other invertebrates. Skilled at digging for grubs. Occasionally eats berries and bird eggs. 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.

Armadillos in Austin
The Armadillo World Headquarters was once the hottest club in Austin , and it's still quite a legend around these parts. It consisted of a large auditorium and Biergarten, and the inside walls were decorated with large murals of local musical heroes/heroines festooned with armadillos, all by artist Jim Franklin. The cutting table in the kitchen featured casework made from the pine benches of the Vulcan Gas Company, another legendary Austin club. All sorts of people played there, ranging from Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker to folks like Frank Zappa , Kraftwerk, and Roxy Music . The Armadillo was located at the corner of South 1st Street and Barton Springs Road, but the land was bought out in the 1980's and is now home to a highrise bank building.

Armadillos are an amazing group of animals that originated in South America. Armadillos are mammals , just like you. Contrary to what you may have heard, the armadillo is neither a rodent nor a marsupial, and they are not related to the opossum any more than you are. There are twenty different species of armadillos. They belong to the order Xenarthra, family Dasypodidae. Their closest relatives are sloths and anteaters shell three-banded armadillo Armadillos are built to dig. They have short, strong legs that are well suited to rapid digging, either for food or for shelter.

Welcome to DilloScape!
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.
Most armadillos are cat sized and gray, brown, or pink in color. Armadillos are solitary and meetings between them are usually short. When threatened they run away and find a place to hide. They are semi-nocturnal and live in forests, swamps, shady areas, and palmettos.
Scientists study the nine-banded armadillo for several reasons. Their babies are identical quadruplets, they can carry leprosy and a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi. In general, armadillos are benevolent and helpful to ecology.

Fun Facts
A distant counsin of the sloth and the anteater, the Nine-Banded Armadillo originated in South America. It immigrated to Texas by way of Mexico in the 19th. century. Its name comes from a Spanish word referring to its armor like covering. The shell is made of a bone like casing. In the Nine-Banded Armadillo (the only species of armadillo found in Texas), the armor consists of a large shield over the shoulders, a second large shield over the rump, and nine bands in the middle. Because the shell itself cannot grow nor be replaced as the armadillo grows, it is soft and leathery when the armadillo is born. It does not harden until the armadillo reaches its full adult size of 8 to 15 pounds. While not as slow as the sloth, the armadillo rarely hurries. Walking on the soles of its back feet and the tips of its claws on its front feet, the armadillo ambles along at no more than a third of a mile per hour. However, the armadillo is able to run when danger threatens. Its hard shell allows it to run through thorny underbrush when fleeing predators. The armadillo has a particularly interesting method for crossing water. Its heavy armor shell causes it to sink. When faced with a narrow stream or a water filled ditch, the armadillo will simply walk across the bottom, under water. However, when up against a wider body of water, the armadillo will swallow enough air to inflate its stomach to twice its normal size. This increased buoyancy then allows the armadillo to swim across. Afterwards, it takes the armadillo several hours to release all the excess air from its body.

The threebanded armadillo s name refers to the hinged bands on the back that enablearmadillos to curl up and protect their soft underparts from predators.
http://www.sazoo-aq.org/02meet/02sublinks/armadill.html
ARMADILLO
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 underparts and limbs. Young look like miniature adults when they're born, and within a few days their leathery skin hardens into armor. Underparts are covered with soft-haired skin. Hair sometimes projects from under the side plates.
The three-banded armadillo's name refers to the hinged bands on the back that enable armadillos to curl up and protect their soft underparts from predators. The three-banded armadillo has the system perfected so that it can make a perfect ball with the armored head and tail exactly filling the chinks left when the body is curled. When threatened, it leaves a small opening between the edges of the shell and, when touched on the chest or abdomen, snaps the edges together like a steel trap. Our native nine-banded armadillo cannot roll that tightly into a ball. The armor on the three-banded armadillo is also considerably thicker which reflects its dry forest and savanna habitat in central South America.
Armadillos walk on the soles of their hind feet, but on the tips of their claws on their forefeet. Three-bandeds eat ants and termites which they obtain by probing into the ground, under bark, and into nests with powerful forelegs and claws.

What's damaging my tomato plants? QUESTION:
"This past summer, a mysterious animal dug under the fence into my
garden and wrecked all my tomato plants. It looked like they were all pulled
up from the roots, but the vegetables themselves weren’t eaten. I’ve seen opossums running
along the fence, but we also have armadillos around here, which my neighbor tells me love
tomatoes. Which animal ate the vegetables, and what can I do to prevent this from
happening next year?"
S.C., Humble, TX ANSWER: Both opossums and armadillos could have been midnight callers to your garden, but the
armadillo was the more likely culprit. The bulk of an armadillo’s diet is insects, although they’ll eat skinks, lizards, eggs, and occasionally
fruit. Although the armadillos aren’t after the vegetables in your garden, they still cause gardeners a
lot of grief by tunneling under fences to dig up plant roots covered with their favorite meal of worms
and other soil-loving bugs.

http://www.countrystars.com/artists/smokin.html
SMOKIN' ARMADILLOS I t must have been a really bad fight. The kind that makes a big sister stop the car and tell her little brother he can walk the last three miles home from school. But looking back, it was actually a pretty good fight. Because that day when Josh Graham was loping alongside Highway 155 outside of Bakersfield, he got an idea. Josh Graham
RHYTHM GUITAR He's a cowboy. A real one. Honest, polite and friendly. Josh was reared on a cattle ranch 30 miles outside of Bakersfield. His dream in life was to be a pro rodeo cowboy. He steer wrestled, calf and team roped growing up and in college until the band caught on. "The band was a dream. I didn't grow up in a musical family, I learned to play guitar when I started the band. I just liked the entertaining part of it." Josh is the talker. Awed by George Strait and Alan Jackson , Josh is the country soul of the band.
T hat idea turned out to be the first step toward a dream. A dream now known as Smokin' Armadillos. A band born by the side of the road, that never asked for directions, that just found its way. T he Smokin' Armadillos broke Nashville's rules because they simply didn't know them. They never played clubs, they didn't cut demos. They put on concerts, and released their own independent CD. Word of their raw talent and energy spread like wildfire through central California and soon crowds as big as 5,000 fans were infected with the "Armadillo Attitude." Those independent CD's flew out the door, over 100,000 of them. You could hear the party roaring as far as away as Music City. And record execs were listening and observing, especially MCG/CURB.

Armadillo Control Products Armadillo Information Control Measures Armadillo Damage Armadillo Control Summary An Armadillo can cause tremendous damage to cultivated areas such as your manicured lawn, golf courses. This damage is due to this mammal's diet of grubs, insects and other small invertebrates. While hunting for food, an Armadillo can wreak havoc on turf, digging small to medium holes in numerous locations. While there are many people who are fascinated with the Armadillo and its habits, those who spend many long hours cultivating a nice lawn do not appreciate their grassy front yard resembling a mine field!
These armored mammals can also cause great damage to ornamental and fruit trees. The burrows (which can run up to 25 feet long) often disturb and damage the root systems of trees and shrubs. This burrowing activity also damages concrete slabs, creating air pockets beneath the concrete that weakens (and many times cracks) the foundation of homes and other buildings.
Homes built off-grade (including mobile homes) are not immune to Armadillo damage. Their tunnels help create water run-off problems and often cause flooding beneath homes.

Everything You Need to Know about
Armadillos There are 20 species of armadillo, grouped in nine genera and distributed through America from Argentina to the south-eastern corner of the United States. The best-known is the nine-banded armadillo that ranges northwards from South America into Kansas and Missouri in the United States. It has been studied in detail because it is of economic importance, eating eggs, undermining buildings, and starting erosion on the one hand, but on the other it kills undesirable insects and snakes. The largest is the giant armadillo of the forests of eastern South America which has a 3 ft body and can weigh as much as 130 pounds. It is unusual in having up to a hundred small teeth, more than twice the normal complement for a mammal. The naked-tailed armadillos of central and southern America have five large claws on the front feet. The middle claw is especially large and sickle-shaped. The three-banded armadillo or apara, of Bolivia, Matto Grosso, Argentina and Brazil is the only one able to roll up, and the seperation of the armor from the skin means there is room for the head, legs and tail when it does so. The fairy armadillo of the plains of western Argentina is a strange creature. It

Armadillos are found throughout the Southern U.S. The South's high temperatures, humidity, and sandy-loam soils create the prefect habitat for this animal.
They are known to be voracious diggers, digging burrows as long as 15 feet. This often causes damage to yards as well as homes and driveways as the animal burrows beneath.

Leprosy Research Using Armadillos
Why are armadillos used for research?
Odd though it may seem, armadillos might someday help cure leprosy. Researchers have found that the core body temperature of the armadillo is low enough to favor the growth of the leprosy-causing bacterium Mycobacterium leprae . While this microorganism has been grown in other types of animal tissue, no animal model had previously been found that regularly contracted the most virulent form of the disease (lepromatous leprosy). Because the bacillus only tends to grow in cooler parts of the body, such as the feet, nose and ears, large amounts of bacteria could not be grown (attempts to grow the microorganism in vitro have not been successful). The armadillo, however, has a lower body temperature than most mammals, resulting in rapid development of the disease following inoculation. Because of the armadillo, scientists have been able to develop a vaccine against leprosy. The nine-banded armadillo has become the principal source of M. leprae

About Armadillos by Mariella Superina
Content

Imagine riding through the South-American pampa . Suddenly, you see a cow-pat moving. Or was it a stone? Try to get closer to it, it may be one of the most interesting inhabitants of this area: an armadillo. Never heard of it? So, it's time to get to know it, before it's too late. Some species are almost extinct.
Armadillos are often classified together with the sloths and the anteaters as Edentata (teethless). This classification is quite confusing, as giant armadillos have up to 100 teeth. Actually, it only means that they don't have incisors or canines. It would be better to count them as Xenarthra , since their thoracic and lumbar vertebrae have additional joint processes. Armadillos are found in South America, except one species, the nine-banded armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ), that has found its way up to Texas. They live in the open fields and near the forests; the giant and the nine-banded armadillo prefer hiding in the jungle.
