That’s what a lot of folks call armadillos. It must be because armadillos are equipped with all that prehistoric looking armor. They use their armor and strong claws to dig, dig and dig. The shell of a Lakewood Ranch FL armadillo is composed of boney plates that are surprisingly flexible.

There are 20 different species of armadillo in the world. The various species have either three, six or nine bands of boney plated segments. The species found in Lakewood Ranch FL is the nine-banded variety.  Female armadillos give birth to four identical armadillo babies, known as dillos each spring. A baby dillo requires about a year to mature. A fully developed armadillo weighs about 12 pounds.

Armadillos eat small invertebrates like cockroaches, worms, grubs, beetle larvae, mole crickets, termites, grasshoppers, yellow jackets, army worms, wasps, ant larvae, flies and other Parrish FL delicacies. Armadillos use their pig-like snouts and peg-like teeth to sift through the Parrish FL topsoil in your yard or landscaping. They consume approximately 200 pounds of insects every year.
