Timothy Gaudin has been researching armadillos and why they’re moving northward.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of us see them lying on the side of the road, flat as a concrete slab or an oddly-shaped lump.<\/p>\n

Armadillos. Possum in the half-shell.<\/p>\n

Although 21 species of armadillos live in South America and never leave, one kind\u2014the nine-banded armadillo\u2014 has made it all the way to the U.S., the only one to make it so far north. \u201cThey have a huge range, from as far north as southern Illinois all the way down to the tip of Patagonia. They\u2019re one of the most wide-ranging mammals on the planet,\u201d says Tim Gaudin, senior associate department head in biology, geology and environmental science and an expert on armadillos, a branch of the Xenarthan group of mammals which also includes anteaters and sloths.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re weird; they\u2019re different, and I like weird,\u201d he says, explaining his fascination with the animals.<\/p>\n

Gaudin has studied Xenarthans for more than 25 years and, in 2011, co-authored a research paper on the increasing number of armadillos found in Southeast Tennessee. They\u2019re here and they\u2019re on the move. They have been seen in the forests surrounding the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and among the Appalachian Mountains in far western North Carolina, he says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not odd that they are living in moist, forested areas, he says. Despite common perceptions, armadillos aren\u2019t desert lovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to be near water,\u201d Gaudin says.<\/p>\n

Using a 1996 study of the animals\u2019 migration patterns, he and his research partner discovered that armadillos are not only heading north and east, they\u2019ve doubled their migratory speed\u2014although speed is a relative term when it comes to the pokey-slow animals. While global warming may play a role in their spread, Gaudin says, he thinks other factors come into play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suspect it has something to do with human habitat alterations, although it\u2019s not exactly clear what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt may be that we\u2019re removing predators or reducing the number of competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or it could be that we\u2019re just better at lawn care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tend to go after the best lawns, the best cared-for, which drives people crazy, but it\u2019s<\/p>\n

because the lawns are really well-watered and they\u2019ve got a lot of insects in the soils, and that\u2019s what they like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once they like the taste of your garden or your lawn, they can dig basketball-size holes and it\u2019s difficult to get rid of them, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re very hard to trap,\u201d Gaudin says. \u201cBaited wire traps don\u2019t work because they don\u2019t really go for baits. They\u2019re kind of stupid, so they\u2019ll blunder into a trap every now and then, whether it\u2019s baited or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t, however, seem interested in human garbage, he says.<\/p>\n

In a question asked by many: Why do you see them on the side or middle of the road, dead as \u2026 well \u2026 roadkill? It\u2019s their response to being startled, Gaudin says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA frightened armadillo can leap straight up about two to three feet,\u201d he explains, \u201cso when a vehicle passes over them, they spring right into the undercarriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

That startle reflex also comes into play if a person tries to get too close.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can jump up and break your nose and knock out teeth,\u201d Gaudin says.<\/p>\n

Not getting too close to an armadillo is a good idea from a different medical standpoint. They are the only mammal known to carry leprosy, which destroys nerve tissue in extremities such as the fingers, toes, nose and ears and, if untreated, can destroy those extremities.<\/p>\n

No one is exactly sure how the leprosy bacteria is transmitted from armadillo to human, Gaudin says, so it\u2019s best just to leave the animals alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter safe than sorry,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
