i'd believe it. i used to see them squished by the side of the road in germany.

i'd venture to say the same holds true for armadillos. when i was growing up and visited texas, i thought an armadillo WAS a squished, bloody thing by the side of the road. that's the only place i ever saw them.

Can't realy prove/disprove that theory, can't say i've seen many armadillo's frollicing in the woods of oxfordshire recently, Much less sundried by the side of the road.
