Abundant now in Middle Tennessee.  Often seen as roadkill, and we have 
personally shot three to protect our garden here in Houston County over the 
last two years.

A dead armadillo was found by NPS staff in the Big South Fork in a fairly 
remote area within the last year.  So at least one made it to the northern end 
of the plateau.  I am not aware of reports from the Knoxville area.
