Pichi armadillos in captivity

[Giant Eland]

I received Temaiken's answer: according to the park they house pichi armadillos, and the specie can be seen in the burrowing animals' exhibits.

"Refugio Faunístico Luan" in Neuquén, Argentina might have also that specie, the zoo tends to receive injured animals and wild animals that used to be pets. The zoo has a great collection of native species, however I could not contact the zoo.

Oh boy!! I was definitely planning on visiting Temaiken anyways!! Can't wait!!

At the moment I can hardly believe there are any outside South America but historical Zootierliste mention for Europe :
Berlin Zoo
Duisburg
Frankfurt
Hannover
Krefeld
Antwerp
Rotterdam
Praha
London
not mentioned is the now closed Wassenaar Zoo which I believe kept the species also.
An animal from Rotterdam Zoo was sent to San Antonio, so this zoo had it also

It was also kept at Lisbon in 1940/1950.

I placed a newspaper-article from Duisburg in the gallery of Zoo Duisburg - Germany about their giant armadillo.

Oklahoma zoo should also have kept giant armadillo(s?).

In the rare animals in captivity section of the International Zoo Year Book vol. 22 also Lincoln Park Chicago is mentioned as having 2.0 Giant armadillo´s as did Rotterdam Zoo ( also 2.0 ) but this collection I had already mentioned.
