This short communication presents the first record of Myrmecophaga tridactyla (giant anteater) for the northern region of the State of Paraná, Brazil, where the Atlantic Forest landscape is highly fragmented due to increasing urbanization and agricultural activity. The record was obtained in June 2021, in a northern urban zone of the municipality of Londrina. While we do not know the causes of this event, it may reflect a current flow towards the north of Paraná of individuals recently recorded to the east, perhaps facilitated by a permeable landscape for the displacement of terrestrial animals at the urban/rural interface, where disturbed natural environments are common.

The giant anteater Myrmecophaga tridactyla is widely distributed throughout the Neotropical region. However, it is likely to be extinct in part of its original distribution, leading this species to be classified as Vulnerable (VU) by the IUCN. A new occurrence record of a giant anteater was obtained in the municipality of Santo Antônio das Missões, located in the transition region of the Atlantic Forest and Pampa biomes in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The record of a giant anteater road-kill victim was made during a road monitoring carried out on BR-285 in November 2019.

This paper reports on results from two camera trapping initiatives where individual giant armadillos, Priodontes maximus, were identified and monitored over multiple years, thus providing insights into their potential lifespan. One camera trap array was located in the Brazilian Pantanal, in Mato Grosso do Sul, where an adult female was first identified in October 2011 and documented again in January 2021, leading us to estimate her age as at least 17.5 years old. The other camera trap array was located at the border of the Chaco alluvial plains in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where a female was first registered in June 2004 and then again in January 2019; we estimate her age to be at least 18 years old. While recognizing that these two data points are insufficient to evaluate life expectancy of the species, this paper does provide the first evidence of potential lifespan of wild P. maximus. It also shows that both females were documented in the same area after intervals of 10 and 15 years, providing new clues on long-term site fidelity. This paper highlights the importance of long-term camera trap arrays for the study of cryptic nocturnal mammals that are long lived and occur at low densities.

Dorsal carapace and osteoderm morphological features have traditionally been widely used in both extinct and extant armadillo systematics. However, the intraspecific variability at the carapace level represents a little studied aspect. In this contribution, we analyzed several dorsal carapaces of Priodontes maximus with the purpose of recording such variability. As a result, we describe a total of seven structures concerning the dorsal carapace osteoderm configuration, including distinct terminations of the osteoderm rows, and the most frequent aberrant shapes of the osteoderms. Though the same type of structure can be usually found in several specimens, its frequency and precise location within the carapace are unique to each individual. In this sense, besides improving anatomical descriptions, the identification of these structures can be potentially implemented as a complementary method to help recognize specific individuals being tracked. Moreover, it can represent a very effective recognition method even a long time after death. Given the general decreasing trend of P. maximus populations, it is important to develop as many monitoring tools as possible, in order to support conservation programs for this species.
