Armadillos in the yard?

I’ve lived in Florida now for 6 years and I still can’t get over the diversity of wildlife here.

One of the animals that I find fascinating are the armadillos that we have wondering around the yard.

If they weren’t so cute I would consider them a major pest with the havoc they cause with the landscaping, digging up the yard and flower beds.

What is amazing is you can sneak up on these creatures from behind, but if you spook them they will jump a couple of feet straight up.

I’ve never tried to actually catch one of these guys and I’m not sure I’d want to with the claws they have.
