Wouldnt make it any worse than it already is. Maybe it will unite the idiots again.
No one. Let it do the work, it's needed.
Armadillos! ...
... versus! ...
Feral Hogs!
F I G H T !
If that’s what it was supposed to look like in 2023 I wonder what the actual distribution was that year.
Found info from previous years
The fact that the human side has gone radio silent on the war tells you all you need to know. Pray to whatever god you observe. It's going to get bleak.
I,for one, welcome our new feral pig overlords.
I actually know quite a few people that participate in hog culling, and I know in my surrounding area (Californian suburb) there are a bunch of boar cages set up to trap them, so I wouldn’t really say it’s radio silent at all, perhaps maybe a bit more quiet in your area though.
I don't know, but I do suspect 'big angry bacon' is soon gonna be on a lot more people's menus, lol.
Love me some wild boar!
As someone descended from lowland Scots, I will get the spears. Just need some hounds and we'll have bacon.
My inner tarheel is screaming the solution to this problem. We'll have the mother of all pig pickens!
Hogs no diff that and then learn enough tool use to take the akimbo AR-15s from our corpses
mild confusion, followed by"YEEHAW!!", followed by excited aerial gunfire
We just find out how they were able to breach the impenetrable walls of swine.
Reminder: do not eat those.
You've been warned.
I'm gonna.
That's how you get leprosy. But I mean... It would be pretty badass to get a biblical diesease.
I wouldn’t worry too much; they don’t have thumbs, so flying a jet may turn into an unexpected challenge hehehe.
Hmm… do you actually need thumbs to fly a modern commercial jet?
I would say yes, in order to have a sufficient grip on the stick/yoke
Cookie has a point though… I’m really worried now.
Musk wants to install his neuralink thing in them so they can fly that way. No thumbs needed.
You would need the brain wiring side of that installed
Leprosy is back on the menu, baby
Southern Florida shows us that the only way to defeat them is with alligators.
"We know how to take them out, General. Spread the word."
Um, no, that's just the part of Florida that the animals can tell will be under water soon.
Well, ok yeah, alligators would then be a problem.
There is exactly one and it is that giant one in the picture. He is surveying new potential lands to extend his power.
Anywhere but the south tip of florida apparently
Professionals have standards, they saw Florida and said no thanks.
Possum on the half shell. Dillo power!
Teenage Mutant Arma-dillos
I love the word aviation. Makes it feel like you can nounify other animal types. Like mammation. Or you could go into subgroups, like cervidation, chiropteration, monotremation, etc.
Crustaceans?
Crustation? Or maybe crustaceation? A process of periodical molting. Or maybe the act of using a claw-like implement?
Soon we will rule the Tri-State Area!!!
I'm trying to figure out how they're supposed to get to Los Angeles without crossing through San Diego. I guess hop a plane to LAX and go to Disneyland?
Edit: Urgh, I just realized there's probably some evil bastards out there who'd smuggle armadillo babies in their pants.
This is a message from big boar to distract you from who's really taking over.

As an invasive species what harm do they cause?
I've seen them very rarely in metro Atlanta.
Which means they've reached Hartsfield International Airport, and we're all even more screwed.
Yo I love armadillos and I rarely see them, but this map shows them just barely where I live. I hope to see one here soon, I'm sure the first one I see will be on the road, but then hopefully alive soon too :)
I moved to Armadillo territory 10 years ago and sadly I've never seen one alive, only roadkill confirming their presence. The tarantula are the same way. We're just not in the places they frolic most of the time, and if we are, they hide.
Maybe you'll get to see both... one right after the other.
Watch cute pet armadillos on tiktok, then see how you feel about it
