She says they’re very good at adapting to new environments. They’ve now been spotted in about 25 counties, including Mecklenburg and almost all surrounding counties.Ĭolleen Olfenbuttel is a biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and author of a study on armadillos in the state. The first documented sighting of an armadillo in North Carolina didn’t occur until 2007. Since then, it’s gradually expanded north and east, and now calls most of the Southern US home. Native to South America, it has distinctive armor-like skin, a pig-like snout, and long tail, and was first documented in Texas in the mid-1800s. The next time you’re out walking along a greenway or hiking in the mountains be on the lookout for one of North Carolina’s newest residents: the insect-eating nine-banded armadillo. ![]()
