Ever since we set foot on the lot over a year ago, I noticed these small little holes everywhere. Along with the holes we found little burrows in the thick Palmettos that are scattered over the property. Finally it all makes sense. 3 times now I've arrived at the lot to see a nine-banded armadillo hanging around the same Palmetto which must be where he lives. I caught him in the act of making this hole. They like to dig and find insects and slugs. At the Link are some fast facts about Armadillos from
MSU.edu. Did you know that "
During the Great Depression of the 1920’s, armadillos were nicknamed “Hoover Hogs” by the people who ate them. The name was a bitter jab at President Herbert Hoover, who had promised “a chicken in every pot” but had instead presided over a collapse of the US economy following World War I."
