Western Kentucky is where numerous Armadillo sightings have been reported. Steve Vantreese did an article on the little guys a while back and it was very interesting. With our milder winters, armadillos have been slowly making their way north and moving into Western Kentucky areas and making it their home. The funniest thing I learned was that when they are startled, they will jump up into the air and then take off running! Makes me think of a cartoon or something! That's how they get killed by cars so easily! When you drive up on one in the road, rather than take off running, they jump straight up and become perfectly level with your bumper and WHACK! If you're in the Western Ky area, keep an eye out for them! I think people will hit one, and then pick it up and carry it around in their truck bed to show their buddies! I know if I hit one, I'd have to pick it up and carry in my truckbed for awhile to show off because most people think I'm crazy talking about armadillos in KY !!!! :)
