Summary
Map of the range of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-banded_Armadillo" class="extiw" title="en:Nine-banded Armadillo">Nine-banded Armadillo</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" class="extiw" title="en:United States">United States</a>, created by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:Caliga10" class="extiw" title="en:user:Caliga10">user:Caliga10</a>. This map is based in part on the following maps:
- <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://justinsomnia.org/images/armadillo_range.png">Armadillo Range</a>
- <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.mnh.si.edu/mna//image_info.cfm?species_id=58">North American Mammals: Dasypus novemcinctus</a>
with supplemental information folded into it related to the appearance of the Nine-banded Armadillo in southern Illinois, obtained from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/inhsreports/2005/winter2005.pdf">the Illinois Natural History Survey</a>, and supplemental information related to the appearance of the Nine-banded Armadillo in western Kentucky, from <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.crcc.net/Newsletter/0704Links.PDF">[1]</a> (anecdotal to be sure, but the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://fw.ky.gov/kfwis/stwg/Volume%20II/2.1.0%20%20Introduction.htm">Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife</a> seems to agree).
The areas colored red indicate present range of the Nine-banded Armadillo in the United States, as of approximately 2006, and the areas colored pink are areas in which the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/species" class="extiw" title="en:species">species</a> should eventually be able to establish itself based on climate and soil conditions, according to the first source cited above. That source also indicated large areas of the west coast of the United States as being suitable for armadillo expansion, but that would depend on human intervention as the armadillo is not likely to be able to establish itself in points eastward (i.e. the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains" class="extiw" title="en:Rocky Mountains">Rocky Mountains</a>) which lie between its current range and the Pacific coast.
