The content of this article seems well researched and the sources that accompany the information seem reliable. A well put together article after being altered by a student. However, you do not have any information about the exact number of individuals that are in the wild. Also there are a few spelling errors in the article.Nbwadlington (talk) 12:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC) User: Nbwadlington December 7, 2016 —Preceding undated comment added 18:00, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Separate species?
[edit]The website Xenarthrans.org claims recent morphological studies have shown Andean hairy armadillos to be the same species as Screaming hairy armadillos. (Xenarthrans.org). The IUCN link for its conservation status also goes to the Screaming Hairy Armadillo status instead of one for Andean hairy armadillo. ([IUCN https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/89604632/119877197). Multiple sources used in the article call it a synonym for the Screaming Hairy Armadillo, for example, the [Systematics of hairy armadillos and the taxonomic status of the Andean hairy armadillo (Chaetophractus nationi) https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article/96/4/673/846208]. --Pithon314 (talk) 02:02, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
