> I've never heard one of those in real life. That would probably give me the heebie-jeebies. The coyotes, not the armadillos. Although I've never heard an armadillo either so maybe...
Â* Sounds just like they do in the movies , not at all creepy . It's
when you can hear their "chatter" - little yips , growls and soft barks
that you should be worried . Because if you can hear that they're
probably within fifty feet or so . Coyotes are OK in my book , they
perform some important tasks out in the woods , like controlling rodent
populations and cleaning up dead animals .
