They are kind of like groundhogs, mean as a snake when provoked :) And yes, armadillos and humans are the only two creatures that can contract leprosy. So you definitely don't want one. The leprosy thing always gets me when I see one at the house and on our property. I think they also carry a few other diseases you definitely don't want. This is an older picture but how our dogs handle those at the house who get too close -- they kill them and save them for eatin' later (hence the gravel on top):

She laid out there for two days guarding that thing in my driveway before I finally grabbed the grain scoop and hauled it to the trash myself. Only time I've ever had to sanitize the scoop with bleach but it was worth it just to have that "speed bump" gone for good.

We are in MO Those are actually fairly new in your/our area Missroselee. They started drifting in about 10 years ago. Before that you had to go to Arkansas or Oklahoma to see one. Just like the bears drifting up from Arkansas nowadays. There was a kid that shot a bear close to his barn down by Houston Mo. and when he called the game warden he got chewed out for calling in a prank phone call and the officer hung up on him. I'm a little more south and west of MRL, but still in Mo...I saw my first one dead on a Mo road in the summer of 1988 on HWY 174 just west of Republic. LOL! I remember the year because I had just moved home and I was so disbelieving of what I saw, that I turned around and went back for a closer look. They are a pestulance! I'm from Rolla and MRL is between us. We knew they were coming because the only TV we could get was from Springfield and they talked about them once in a while. I was hoping the freezing weather we always got would keep them south of us but they finally arrived.

We see that a lot here. Thus my hypothesis that alcoholism is common and probably contributes to the deaths of so many armadillos.

In the winter they get snow north of 44 and ice south of it... Old RT.66/I44 has been the dividing line for a long time and spring storms track right along it from Tulsa to St. Louis.
