Armadillo Joins Franklin County Wildlife List
Armadillos, once rare in Kansas, have appeared in Franklin County with a young male found at a carport northwest of Ottawa on July 3. After a KU mammalogy check, the armadillo was released. This is the second Franklin County sighting, part of a growing Kansas trend toward northern expansion of nine banded armadillos. The article also notes dove season dates and other game seasons, plus a pre-season trap shoot scheduled August 30 by Quail Unlimited at the Wildlife Conservation Club grounds.
