WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!
Baby Hairy Armadillos
One of our long term captive female Hairy Armadillos gave birth on Friday, July 8th, 2010 to two babies males.
They are known for having a leathery armor shell. Our female came from Paraguay. In the wild they live in grasslands, plains and steppelike areas and is an omnivore.
The carapace has eighteen strips, with eight of them being able to move, while the others are bound to each other and immobile.
Our babies have to be one of the cutest things we have had the privilege to see born at our facility.
