The Fort Lauderdale armadillo mating season depends on their current habitat. Usually, the mating season will take place during 2-3 month long season. In the northern hemisphere, thisis usually from July to august and in the southern hemisphere, it is November to January. In most cases, just one single egg getsfertilized. Usually, implantation will be delayedfor several months, usually around 3-4 months.



This is done so as to make sure that the young ones come at the time that is most favorable. So far as the wild Fort Lauderdale animals are concerned, we all are not comfortable to have them at home as neither a pet nor we want them near about us anyway. This is just because of many common reasons. When the zygote gets implanted in the armadillo’s uterus, they gestation period will usually last for some 4 months. Afterthis, the zygote usually splits into 4 embryos which are identical. Each one of the zygote then developsoneplacenta. This means that they nutrients and blood don’t get mixed. After they are born, these quadruplets will remain in the dug burrows. They usually live off the milk of the mother for some three months. After this, they will start for aging together with them other and they go their separate ways after some six months or a year.

Sexual Maturity
Usually, some Fort Lauderdale species reach maturity at one year and they will reproduce each year of their lives. Their lifespan is around 12-15 years. This means that one female can actually give rise to around 56 young ones in the course of life. This is a very high reproduction rate and it is one of the reasons as to why the Florida species expand so rapidly.

Companionship
The Fort Lauderdale armadillos are rather solitary in nature and will usually get a companion only when the mating season begins. After they mate, the females can be able to suspend pregnancy for up to 2 years! The other verypeculiar thing about armadillos is the ability to get multiple births from only a single egg. The number of off springs dependsonthespecies. You can get an armadillo giving birth to 4, 8 or even 12 offspring’s that are identical! The young ones are pink and they have a skin that is leathery and soft. The soft skin usually hardens after some weeks. The young Florida armadillos usually stay very close to the mothers after birth.
