skeeter Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Dead Armadillers spotted on Hwy 109 in Eureka MO and on Hwy 141 in Manchester MO. so they've made it to the Big City ! Prediction....crossing major Interstates in and around metropolitan areas will prove much tougher than swimming across little old Rivers...... SPLAT !!!
Terry Beeson Posted June 8, 2007 Author Posted June 8, 2007 ...Prediction....crossing major Interstates in and around metropolitan areas will prove much tougher than swimming across little old Rivers...... SPLAT !!! Their ancestors came from Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas/Ft Worth... not to mention cities in Mexico. 'Dillo's will laugh in the face of St Louis and KC traffic... ESPECIALLY the ones with ties to Monterrey, Mexico...

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
jcoberley Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Well they have made it up to Kansas city, Mo. I have seen 2 so I would guess they are farther north. However I don't believe that there not native to the usa. They came here on there own power so I would say that they are now native! Unlike turkeys that were moved and placed here in Missouri! Fish slow and easy! Borrowed this one from..........Well you know who! A proud memer of P.E.T.A (People Eating Tasty Animals)
Wayne SW/MO Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Unlike turkeys that were moved and placed here in Missouri! Turkeys are native to Missouri, but were killed out. The original reintroduction was the native strain, but it was found that they didn't do as well as some others. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Terry Beeson Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 Aha! Another glitch... Well, more than one... Turkey (Wayne is correct...) Black Bear... Elk... Probably more under similar circumstances...

motroutbum Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 THEY ARE INVASIVE NOT NATIVE!!!!!!!! There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!
Fish Bork Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 I don't know I would call dillo's invasive as just expanding their range. MTB I think you went to Missouri State and if you had Robbin's Mammalogy we went over dillo's and how they are expanding their range. The people of Mexico and Central America actually use to hunt dillo's for use, not eating but other stuff. Now they are not hunted and been able to expand north without any pressure. Man if you like talking about this take a class at MO State called Biogeography. The past three years not counting this one have been really light winters allowing dillo's to travel north. I'm sure if we get some really cold weather for an extended amount of time it will kill off the dillos up north. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
