Description
Indiana now has breeding populations of armadillos.
According to a recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), armadillos have colonized much of southeastern Indiana and are spreading north and west, including sightings in and around Marion County.
The armadillos seem to be spreading along the Wabash and White rivers. Since 2003, 205 armadillos have been spotted in Indiana. The USGS estimates Marion County and all of the counties around it may have breeding armadillo populations, meaning they are "established."
