Default CUTE! Baby Armadillos at Fenney Springs (photos by Sam Boatman)

Spotted yesterday evening at Fenney Nature Trail
4 baby armadillos scurrying inside and outside the boardwalk, going under and coming out.

Florida Wildlife officials have said there is a rise of Hansen’s Disease ( leprosy ) cause by armadillos . Just a caution to be careful .

I walked right by one the other night on a sidewalk at about 2AM...I could have reached down and petted it but rabies shots suck.

The only cute Armadillo is a dead one, they spread disease, destroy lawns , damage underground pipes ,driveways buildings and drainage systems , they serve less of a purpose then any other species in the world

too many things out walking/slithering around in the dark at 2am for me to be out for a stroll at that hour
