"""An excellent overview of state-of-the-art armadillo research, this book will be a standard for anyone working with or interested in not only nine-bandeds but any species of armadillo. The authors present their data in an entertaining and stimulating style that will appeal to scientists and armadillo enthusiasts alike. A pleasure to read.""--Mariella Superina, Chair of the Anteater, Sloth, and Armadillo Specialist Group for the International Union for Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission ""Despite the many unique features that make nine-banded armadillos enormously interesting to science and the general public, few field biologists have been willing to undertake long-term research projects on the creature. Tremendous time investment and numerous other difficulties deter scientists from acquiring sound ecological data. W. J. Loughry and Colleen M. McDonough have clearly overcome these hurdles through their persistence and scientific and practical intelligence. A testament to their field work and planning, this book will stand as a model for the study of the more than twenty remaining species of armadillos, as well as for other mammals.""--Sergio Vizcaíno, coauthor of Megafauna: Giant Beasts of Pleistocene South America"
