The Nine-banded Armadillo is a cat-sized mammal covered with an armored coat made up of bony plates with thin scales. The armadillo habitats include woodlands, scrubby areas and front/back yards. Like the oppossum, it forages at night near roadways and many are killed by automobiles. During the day they rest in underground burrows. When threatened, armadillos may roll into a ball or dig rapidly. They are also called pocket dinosaurs, Hoover hogs and Texas turkeys.

While on a sunset hike tonight (2/17) I watch an alligator try and grab one of these for dinner... the 'dillo was just a little quicker today.

Easy walk through the saw to this one... not sure how the hint would help find the cache... TFTH.
