Dasypus novemcinctus
Monteverde and Arenal are the two atlas places where the Nine-banded Armadillo is recorded, with records concentrating in the United States, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. The atlas contains 3,964 open records across 11 countries, and the map follows where these records gather.
Because this mammal is recorded in both the northern and southern hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and are shown on each place page.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Nine-banded Armadillo as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
