1. Cute little critter. I see armadillos occasionally but I don't recall ever seeing a baby.

2. Armadillos nearly always have litters of four babies, identical quadruplets. They are so cute BUT

they dig up your yard. I trap and relocate 5-6 every year, usually 3-4 miles down the road but they are nearly blind and have a highly sensitive smell. If you get one you will more than likely get more because they will follow the scent of others.

I'm personally tired of messing with them!

3. Unfortunately, they are also a disease vector for leprosy.

But he is cute.
