Looking for zoos that keep armadillos

Almost all major zoos in Europe keeps at least one species of them. Southern three-banded and Large hairy armadillo are the most common taxa, Nine-banded is rarer, others aren't exist in European zoos afaik.

Six-Banded Armadillo are also common in Europe. ZTL lists no nine-banded armadillos, but a couple of collections with screaming hairies.
 
Well... i saw six-banded armadillos in Selwo Marina (Spain) a few days ago.
You probably already knew this site, but in case you didn't know it you can use Zootierliste (English), which offers information about all vertebrated animals in European zoos, as well as armadillos: ZootierlisteHomepage.

Thank you that is super helpful
 
Lots of zoos have Southern Three-banded Armadillo. The largest armadillo collection I have seen in a zoo is at Omaha, with three species (Southern Three-banded, Screaming Hairy, and Nine-banded). Brookfield also has Screaming Hairy, and I saw Big Hairy Armadillo at Ararat Ridge Zoo.

Taxonomy is an interesting site, although I found it irritating that 'Marsupialia' is still treated as an order, despite the Xenarthra being separated into the Cingulata and Pilosa.
