Abstract

Hematologic parameters from free-ranging screaming hairy armadillos, Chaetophractus vellerosus, were determined by hemocytometry and blood smear review. Packed cell volume was higher and basophil and eosinophil counts lower than those reported for this species in captivity. These findings will serve as a reference for future research.
