To anonymous Part II

About the armadillos, yep I've seen some squashed on the road near the Sea Pines Country Club, but I've never seen any alive. Other people probably have seen them too. The Nine-Banded Armadillo migrated to Texas in 1849 when it was expanding its population. The armadillo's progress was helped along by pranksters and animal dealers. A circus truck let some loose in 1936, and a Florida zoo released some in 1924. It migrated north and east for 150 years, and now it is widespread in states such as Kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, Georgia, and, ;D , South Carolina. Sorry if this is too long, it's hard for me to write stuff in a nutshell.
