One of the cutest animals on the planet that you rarely see

4. Gone from North Texas

I remember catching them when I was a kid in Dallas. You'd see them in gravely areas. I read in the local paper that their primary diet is ants and now people put out chemicals to kill the ants, so they have no food source.

I always used the old fashion, poor people way to kill ants and that is to flood water in their hill or hole, if they are red ants or fire ants, use boiling water. Might have to do it more than one time, but it always works. But if they are not in the way, just leave them alone.
