Is this your stuffed armadillo?

It appeared overnight in a Chilliwack man’s front yard Monday, and it’s a total mystery how it got there.

Homeowner Brett Chomlack said it might be a strange little prank someone played on them in their Fairfield Island neighbourhood.

”If it’s yours, and was stolen from your yard, come get it, it’s weird,” Chomlack posted on a Facebook page in Chilliwack.

He thinks it was once a live armadillo that’s seen the work of a taxidermist.

“I think it’s real, like stuffed,” he commented.

So far no one has come to claim the conversation piece as their own.

“It’s the weirdest thing,” Chomlack said. “Still trying to figure it out.”

He’s asked neighbours and friends if anyone did it as a joke, but so far no one’s ‘fessing up.
