Armadillo Extermination

Introduction

Armadillos are the mammals of cingulata order belonging to the Dasypodidae and chlamyphoridae families. Armadillo is found in some of the regions of the world including the native America where they are present with the highest percentage as compared to any other area. There are a total of twenty-one extant species of Armadillo present all around the globe. Armadillos are commonly known for their feature of possessing an armor shell. Like turtles, these Armadillos hide inside their shells when they feel like any predator or hunter coming towards them, they use their shell for safety purposes. Moreover, they have sharp claws that help them dig down the ground quite professionally and they can also run with relatively fast speed to catch their prey or to escape from their predators. A baby Armadillo will be generally around five inches and the maximum size to which this Armadillo can grow could be fifty-nine inches. Armadillos are omnivores and their diet mostly includes insects, bugs, fruits, vegetables, carrion meals, plants and several small animals. They prefer to live in warm climates, the feature of low metabolism they possess, makes it very difficult for them to survive in cold weather. They dig their roosting deep below the grounds to stay warm even in cold temperatures; moreover, they use their shells to hide in order to stay safe from cold.
