Deep in the heart of the Brazilian wetlands, the mysterious and secretive Giant armadillo digs a new burrow every other night. Once this termite-eater moves on, it leaves behind one of the hottest plots of real estate in the tropical Pantanal for 80 species of diverse and ever-changing animal clientele.
Hotel Armadillo follows the work of conservation biologist Arnaud Desbiez, who founded the Giant Armadillo Project, and his team. The Project is supported by more than 40 zoos and aquariums worldwide.
David Attenborough looks at the giant armadillo and examines how this seldom-seen animal provides scores of other creatures with the hotel and restaurant services they need to thrive in earth's biggest natural wetland - the Pantanal of Brazil.

I previously stated that the divider board in my black hawk 22e was missing brackets on one side and was informed all I had to do is flip it over. duhhh!.. anyway thank you armadillo for a great safe at a great price.

I read the installation instructions carefully and had no problems. This is the 4th Shotsafe unit I have installed. The 1st three were for 12 guage shotguns. This AR unit is substantially heavier. It helped to have a second person for the first few bolts. I did not use the included store screws but used three 4" lag bolts into a stud on one side and three metal "dog" fasteners into sheetrock on the other. It might be over-kill but it feels secure. The pin combo mechanism was new to me but easily changed. The AR is secure.
This safe has value written all over it. Qtr. inch thick door along with 10 gauge steel body beats Fort Knox dollar to dollar hands down.
Very well built and door gaps are very flush and small. The door is slightly tapered! Very high end.

It is chiefly made up of flooded grassland with patches of dry savannah or forest and home to a large and diverse wildlife population, including one of the most ancient of living mammals, the highly secretive Giant armadillo.
Not much was known about its life in the wild until recently because it is rare, nocturnal, solitary, and wary of people. It also digs a new underground burrow, up to 20 feet deep, every other night where it spends 75 percent of its life.
The cameras begin recording when triggered by the tiniest of movements whether it is day or night. The rare footage shows a cautious Tracy emerging from her home using her acute sense of smell and hearing to examine her surroundings before heading off to spend the night feeding on termites.
Not only has this ancient creature, which first appeared some 50 million years ago, left a large underground shelter for its neighbors, but the newly-excavated earth also provides food for them in the form of insects and roots.
As the team tracks four Giant armadillos, each fitted with a tiny transmitter, they are learning more about the mysterious animal. It appears an individual can have a home range of up to six square miles and may excavate more than 150 burrows in a single year.
