I took a “sounds of the night” hike with a not-quite-a-park-ranger

and instead of actually like listening for anything we just hiked for 2.5 miles and halfway through he said “there’s usually an armadillo who hangs out under this lookout”. We did end up seeing an armadillo. But that was it. That was the sounds of the night

We've been having armadillos around here which usually didn't get them in this part of Missouri until last few years. Kinda cool to see

@Bexsy I feel like they’ve gotten much more common here in the last 10 years. My sister has babies in her yard right now. This was from today

What state are you in?

I'm in Illinois and there's a nice state park/beach in the north and it really makes me wish less of this world was a concrete jungle lol

@deadgerbil have you seen one before? We have a lot of armadillos 😏 There’s a bunch of baby armadillos in my sister’s yard right now

@deadgerbil “As good journalists, we tried to find it ourselves, but the closest we came was a bear claw pastry.”

Do armadillos make any sounds.
I can only think of the slurping of ants.

@Pfuzylogic I have a video of one from like two years ago making a honking noise as it foraged. But the one tonight was just making lots of noise by rustling leaves

@itsok Honking…letting the ants know who rules the roost!

I love the night, and it's sounds.
In summer and autumn, I leave my bedroom window open so I can hear the hawks and owls and possums etc sometimes the wild swans nesting and honking at each other. Frogs in season are awesome .

Even in a city, somehow sound is different at night ....kinda soothing .
