Made an unusual road kill discovery this morning as we made our way out to Adel for a doctor's appointment. I swore it was an armadillo and Jason just thought I was a weirdo for getting all excited. When we swung by the poor critter was still there and definitely was a nine banded armadillo. Dont know if it was a pet or fell off a truck, or a very motivated dillo. Also unusual considering this was right in the middle of a city highway. For those who arent Iowa natives, armadillos of any kind are not natives. The closest sighting is generally the Missouri border, a few hundred miles south, and even that's rare since they are southern, warmer climate animals. This one wouldnt have survived the winter here. I contacted the DNR and they are just as surprised as I am lol! #armadillo #iowawildlife #iowadnr #bonecollector #vultureculture #naturenerd #outdoors #roadkill (at Clive, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmyXNQ1FrdW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rvpm84yx7d4n
