Armadillo Is
Moving North
Into Oklahoma
Ada, Okie. -OIPII-The arma
' dillo, thai bony, burrowing
and bustling animal that be
gan a northern migration
many years ago, apparently
has found Oklahoma to Us
liking.
' Making it across the Red
river, armadillos are saunter
ing Into Oklahoma from Tcx-
fl in Increasing numbers.
They have been spotted as
far north as northern Ponto
toc county, about 75 miles
from the border.
Somp folks predict th arm
adillo In a few years will be
' as common as the cottontail
Others are a bit dubious figur-
i ing the weather and avail
ability of insects will deter
mine whether the strange
looking mammal settles In
these parts.
"He's coming on fast since
the Red river was dammed
said Jack McPhctridge, Ponto
toc county trapper. "When I'm
trapping, I see him and his
tracks all over the south pari
of the county. But hc' In the
north as well as south sec
tions, too."
The armadillo, which re
sembles a miniature tank on
stilts, is a native of Argentina
and obviously has been on the
move northward for a long
time. It has migrated in great
numbers into Texas from
Mexico and can be found scat
tered about the Southwest.
lis long, relatively en
ormous body is encased in an
armor of small bony plates.
When it is scared, It can fold
its shell like an accordion and
roll into a ball. Devoid of the
armor, it reportedly makes a
good meal. South Americans
consider him a delicacy.
Two beady eyes peak from
an odd triangular head and he
has large ears, sharp claws
and a long, bone-padded tail.
He can move fart, but not for
long, and despite the long
claws, he's no fighter.
The armadillo, whose bur
rowing could put a mole to
shame, does not fight for
animal meat, but Is contented
to eat roots and insects, which
probably accounts for" the fact
that he now Is practically
toothless.
