A Small Tank With Legs In Southern Illinois?

As many southern Illinoisans might have noticed, unusual animals have been seen in the region for quite some time.  Some people have described them as Tanks With Legs. 

Armadillos are here in southern Illinois.

In this report, WSIU reporters Kevin Boucher and Steph Whiteside talk to people who have seen these creatures.  We will also hear from a scientist at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.

If you see an armadillo, researchers would like for you to go online and give your sighting information. The website is:  https://www.facebook.com/SIUarmadilloproject/
