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.

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/
