Primitive Early Relative Of Armadillos Helps Rewrite Evolutionary Family Tree
Dec 14, 2007 A team of US and Chilean scientists working high in the Andes have discovered the fossilized remains of an extinct, tanklike mammal they

Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Dec. 14, 2007) See also: The partial skeleton was unearthed by the group in 2004 and found to represent a new species of glyptodonta family of hard-shelled, grazing mammals that may have occasionally tipped the scales at two tons. The newly described animal, which was given the tongue-twisting name Parapropalaehoplophorus septentrionalis, likely weighed in at a mere 200 pounds and was covered with a massive shell of immovable armored plates, unlike the hinged rows of plates on armadillos. The fossil was found at the unusually high elevation of 14,000 feet. The thin air, scarce water, and frigid temperatures of the high Andes posed significant challenges to the researchers, but were not the conditions under which this glyptodont lived. "Our studies elsewhere on the Altiplano suggest that the region was at a much lower elevation when these fossils lived," said Flynn. "In addition to providing a look at the paleoecology of the region, this has given us new insights into the timing and rate of uplift of the Andes." Over the past decade, the team's fossil-hunting expeditions to northern Chile have discovered a diverse array of several hundred fossil mammal specimens. These animals, known collectively as the Chucal Fauna, include at least 18 species of armadillos and glyptodonts, rodents, relatives of opossums, and a variety of extinct hoofed mammals. Together with the plant fossils recovered from the same area, these suggest that northern

Extractions: Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Armadillos are becoming more common in portions of Missouri, particularly in the southern and central regions of the state. Their range has been expanding in the United States since the 1850s when the armadillo moved into Texas from Mexico. Originally the species was only found in South and Central America. As populations continue to expand, the possibility of encounters with humans will increase. This publication is designed to provide general information on armadillos, their damage and their control.

Critters Armadillo 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.

In the very middle of those times was a Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog, and he lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon, eating shelly snails and things. And he had a friend, a Slow-Solid Tortoise, who lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon, eating green lettuces and things. And so that was all right, Best Beloved. Do you see? But also, and at the same time, in those High and Far-Off Times, there was a Painted Jaguar, and he lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon too; and he ate everything that he could catch. When he could not catch deer or monkeys he would eat frogs and beetles; and when he could not catch frogs and beetles he went to his Mother Jaguar, and she told him how to eat hedgehogs and tortoises. She said to him ever so many times, graciously waving her tail, 'My son, when you find a Hedgehog you must drop him into the water and then he will uncoil, and when you catch a Tortoise you must scoop him out of his shell with your paw.' And so that was all right, Best Beloved. One beautiful night on the banks of the turbid Amazon, Painted Jaguar found Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog and Slow-Solid Tortoise sitting under the trunk of a fallen tree. They could not run away, and so Stickly-Prickly curled himself up into a ball, because he was a Hedgehog, and Slow-Solid Tortoise drew in his head and feet into his shell as far as they would go, because he was a Tortoise; and so that was all right, Best Beloved.

Not always just one person of course, but at least one person. Some days it would be 11:30 at night and he had gotten caught up in something like oil painting or alphabetizing his snuff cans, and he'd suddenly realize that he hadn't shot anyone, so he'd have to quickly head down to the saloon and pick a fight.

Jim Armstrong, Extension Wildlife Specialist, Associate Professor, Zoology and Wildlife Science, Auburn University Controlling Armadillo Damage In Alabama Take a ride on just about any road in Alabama and you are likely to see an armadillo belly-up on the side of the road. Armadillos were first noted in Alabama in the 1940s around Mobile County. Since then they have expanded their range to 59 of Alabama's 67 counties. Only the rocky, mountainous region of northeastern Alabama is without armadillos. As armadillo populations expand, the possibility of negative encounters with humans increases. This publication is designed to give you some general information on armadillos, their damage, and their control. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is so named because of the nine moveable rings of armor between the shoulder and the hip shields. It has a long tail that is also protected by rings of armor. Three toe prints and sharp claw marks are typical of armadillo tracks. Armadillos are about the size of opossums.

Extractions: 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. They can cause serious damage to a lawn or a nicely landscaped area. However, most of the calls I get regarding armadillos involve their large burrows. They often dig 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. Their 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

Extractions: Nine-banded Armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION Despite their unusual appearance, armadillos are mammals. HABITAT, SENSES, FEEDING: The armadillo's habitat is forest near marshy regions, but it can live anywhere that is warm e BURROWING AND REPRODUCTION : Another characteristic sign of armadillo presence is their burrows, which are roughly circular and about seven inches in diameter. They can reach 20 feet in length and often have 2 or more entrances. The armadillo will enlarge one area of the burrow and bring in leaves to use as bedding. If an entrance is covered with leaves, it is probably not in use by the armadillo. However, another entrance may be active. Also, other animals may use the burrow, including snakes, frogs, burrowing owls, etc. The nine-banded armadillo is unique in that the females have quadruplets, four identical babies, each time they give birth. They have four teats in order to nurse each baby. Armadillos are mature at six months of age. Armadillo Foot Print REFERENCE: Grzimeck, Dr. Bernhard.
