Armadillos lol
They just tear the yard up and dig holes. They can't see, so if you're quiet you can sneak up on them

They have Leprosy.
So the story goes that some scientists working for the CDC or what have you were looking for ways to cultivate a cure for Leprosy, injecting it into mouse foot pads and such then they did testing on Armadillos they found two separate strains and then tested them again and found that Armadillos that were not in the program were in fact carriers of certain strains of Leprosy.
If I find the articles I will send them to you or post them up. It is really interesting.

I found the article but I cannot find the facts to back it up.
Apparently they die a lot on the roads from being run over. Not the act of being run over but the vehicle going over them initiates a self preservation response to jump up, probably intended to break the hold of an attacker or hit them in the neck or face. Someone told me that a lot of people get broken noses because they stand over the little suckers when they surprise them and try to pick them up.
It was long thought only humans could get leprosy. Then in the late 1960s researchers speculated that armadillos might be a good test bed for leprosy research because (a) M. leprae thrives in cooler parts of the body (feet, nose, ears, etc.); (b) armadillos have a relatively low body temperature as mammals go, 30 to 35 degrees Celsius compared to 37 degrees in humans (98.6 Fahrenheit for you retro types); (c) armadillos live long enough, 12 to 15 years, for this slow-acting disease to emerge; and (d) armadillo litters almost invariably consist of identical quadruplets, which was useful for genetic experiments.
Aspects of this conjecture might seem far-fetched (I'm thinking of the low body temp part), but it panned out. Several nine-banded armadillos, the type found in the U.S., were inoculated with leprosy germs and came down with full-blown cases of the disease.
Later the researchers discovered something odd: some armadillos already had leprosy. At first they thought the animals had escaped from the leprosy-inoculation experiment or become infected through contact with the lab's waste. But eventually these possibilities were ruled out. Nine-banded armadillos, of which there are 30 to 50 million in the southeastern U.S., are believed to be the only significant natural reservoir of leprosy apart from humans. (A few cases have been found in chimps and mangabey monkeys in Africa.) How the armadillos got leprosy in the first place nobody knows. But there you are.

The can jump 3-4 ft straight up. That's true, they will spring right up in the air and grunt, then run off making noises like a pig.

Lol. Thats messed up.
I've seen a cat spring up higher. Was moving my moms van and heard a pop. Next, I see an image in the rear view. I thought my brother shot it as it was rolling around behind the van. He said it came out from under the van like that. It must have been under the hood since thats were the pop came from.

Guess this goes over much better in La.
These things serve no purpose and dig gigantic holes in the yard. They uproot gardens completely. They have dug under my storage shop multiple times, having to pour concrete in the holes before back filling because the shop will start to sink in the ground if it doesn't completely fall off the blocks. They stand in the road at night making you slam on breaks or go around to avoid getting a bloody mess all over front of truck. They carry diseases and smell like yak butthole. You find these holes with mower when it slams on the ground or while walking across yard and almost snapping an ankle.

Would be like you coming home to 5 Starbucks hipsters camped in your yard, smelling it up and being useless in the world. Just there to piss you off.
