Oh The Armadillos!

When I travel through Missouri, I always notice a ton of armadillos along the roadside.
But it dawned on me. They are all dead. What gives? I swear I don't think I have ever seen an armadillo alive.
It makes me wonder if armadillos are simply born this way, alongside the highway, already deader than a door nail, feet kicked in the air.
It is a mystery to be sure.

The top roadkill of the south.

I live in England and the armadillo looks a very unusual animal compared to what we have in Europe. It is so sad they are killed my cars driving along the road. It is annoying they don't stay off the road where they can live safely. In England drivers are careful when going through an area which has dears.

@porwest In my state, it's possums and deer. Seems armadillos seek roadkill and become roadkill themselves.

@dgobucks226 Roadkill overall is quite ubiquitous here as well. All the fare you mentioned with the inclusion of many raccoons. That may explain the fate of the armadillos. lol

Odd. They must get hit a lot. Wonder why. I saw two alive ones, up here in Minnesota. Odd looking things. I thought they were only in the south
