Department of Natural Resource officials were quite surprised when they came across a very unusual road kill in White County, Indiana Friday.

Officers with the DNR found an armadillo on the Washington Street Bridge in Monticello. They said there are a few reports of armadillos in southern Indiana each year, but this is the first they've seen so far north.

Officers believe the animal may have crawled into the engine compartment of a semi, and hitched a ride from somewhere down south, where armadillos are a bit more common.
