I finally saw one!

[elwestb]

I saw an Armadillo today at the I 75 / 24 split, East Ridge exit. That was my first to see up here in God's country. I know many have said they saw them in Dalton, Ringgold and even in Ooltewah, but this was my first!

[trashtrout]

they are everywhere in franklin county...DO NOT try to straddle one with your vehicle, they jump straight up when startled.

One was in the road in front of Lake Winne yesterday.

 

[salecreekaviator]

One west of Manchester on 24 today.

 

[wildturkey]

Seen them from Chattanooga to Memphis to over in Arkansas on interstate 40 and south into Mississippi two weeks ago. They were laying every few miles it seemed like and some places more heavier than others. One was upside down and someone had placed a Budweiser bottle between front two feet.

 

[scubajt41]

Road Taco!

 

[elwestb]

I saw another one! Road kill, at the East Brainerd Rd. and I-75 exit yesterday.

I don't believe I have seen a dead or live one yet down here. I have been to ATL many times, drive 24 to Nashville everytime I head to WI, maybe just never noticed. See them on King of the Hill, lol..btw was told to never pick them up as they can carry leprosy...

Are you sure someone put the bottle there? Maybe he had a little too much to drink. emoBeer emoLaugh I see them on I-24 between Battle Creek & Monteagle. Saw one yesterday on the side of the road. Could have been drunk instead of road kill! Not sure now! emoScratch
