Armadillos began arriving in Tennessee years ago. Frank Yancey,
formerly our County extension agent, told me that they are spreading
north following the fire ants, arriving in a county a few years after
the ants do. Nothing large scale, global, or catastrophic involved,
just the spread of an alien invasive pest (fire ants) and the
resulting expansion of a native ant-eater (armadillos) in response.
