Silver Dollar Holes in Yard: Armadillo, Raccoon, or Hog?

Small holes (silver dollar size, 3-5" deep) around pine/maple trees at night. Homeowner wants armadillo ID confirmation.

Hard to Distinguish

  • Armadillo: Shallow divots, often in loose soil, rooting for grubs.
  • Raccoon: Similar, but more destructive, rolls sod.
  • Feral hog: Larger rooting, but juveniles make small holes.

Need More Info

  • Location (state/region)?
  • Trail camera?
  • Track ID?

Resource

icwdm.org has species-specific damage guides and track keys.

Can't confirm armadillo without location/evidence.
