Abstract

The maximum lifespan for the screaming hairy armadillo (Chaetophractus vellerosus) in the wild is documented in this note. The data comes from more than nine years of field work, and 288 individuals captured and released in an area in Magdalena (Buenos Aires province, Argentina). Information gathered from 450 capture events showed that individuals of this sub-population live between seven and nine years. Likewise, the generation length was calculated to be 3.2 years. These data are relevant to establish the conservation status of the species, and for several ecological analyses.
