The number of counties with confirmed observations is 27!

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission has sent an alert for residents to be on the lookout for 9-banded armadillos.

The sightings have been stretching from Cherokee to Dare counties, making it likely that the armadillo is expanding its range throughout North Carolina.

People who want to report observations can send their armadillo observations to armadillo@ncwildlife.org. The email should include:

  • A photo of the armadillo
  • Date observed (date and time)
  • Location of observation (GPS coordinates are best, but a detailed location description is acceptable)
