Giant armadillos typically weigh around 18.7–32.5 kg (41–72 lb) when fully grown, however a 54 kg (119 lb) specimen has been weighed in the wild and captive specimens have been weighed up to 80 kg (180 lb)he typical length of the species is 75–100 cm (30–39 in), with the tail adding another 50 cm (20 in). Giaint Armadillo  are estimated to live up to 15 years Males are about 25 percent heavier than females on average. Though males lack a scrotum and external testes, the sexes are easy to distinguish by the presence of four teats in females

?description of the habitat:

•  the temperature 86 °F

• the terrain three physical region

Distribution: 

continents found  southeastern Venezuela, the Guianas, northeastern Brazil, Paraguay and northern parts of Argentina.

Are they invasive? They are considered an invasive species because they were brought by people and quickly began reproducing. By the early 1950s,

• Development 

• Glyptodonts, in fact, represent an extinct lineage that likely originated 35 million years ago within the armadillo radiation

• 6.5–8 years. This is at least 5.5–7 years

•  The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest extant armadillo species. This rare, cryptic, and poorly 

• Males are about 25 percent heavier than females on average. Though males lack a scrotum and external testes, the sexes are easy to distinguish by the presence of four teats in females.

Causes of death:

• predation pumas and jaguars. Humans are the biggest threat to the animal, for humans alter their natural habitat, hunt them and run them over on the roads.

• Sexual competition Sex and age class identification in female giant armadillos 

• Disease giant armadillos are naturally infected with the bacteria that cause Hansen's disease

• other causes live giant armadillos are frequently captured for trade on the black market, and invariably die during transportation or in captivity.

Impacts of  humans

• In addition to habitat loss, road-kills and poaching persist as threats to the giant armadillo.

•  Like most invaders, armadillos are likely to have some impacts on their new habitats—and those effects are not always easy to foresee.

• Some of the first humans in South America may have learnt how to hunt giant armadillos. Skulls of glyptodonts found on the Caribbean coast

• people are doing a lot of things to help support this animal and any animal they is on the lis or that is close to being gone forever so you can littery be at home and help or you can actully go to south amrica and help out there and see on but there are always ways to help like donating learning more about them and helping them out
