When we first moved to South West FL and I saw my first Armadillo, I thought it was "disgusting". They had a home under my neighbor's pool pump. Since that time, she has filled in their home and I suppose they relocated to the neighbor on the other side of our house.
About a month or two ago, we noticed a large adult armadillo digging and collecting soil under it's belly. I suppose it was building a "nursery" for her family. Upon research I found out that A mature armadillo is 15 to 17 inches long (not counting the tail) with a weight of eight to 17 pounds. Pregnant females always give birth to identical quadruplets. She produces one egg that splits into four identical offspring that are either all female or all male. This trait differs from most other mammals.
Interesting stuff and here is a little video I took of two of the babies digging in the soil for bugs and grubs:
