I have noted 2 dead armadillos on I-65 North in Robertson Co at the Cross Plains/Gallatin Hwy 25 Exit. These were noted about a year ago and and different time intervals ~ 3 months apart. I grew up in Texas, since they are primarily nocturnal, unfortunately they are typically noted as road kill. Brenda White Sumner Co Tn.
