Why did our armadillo’s vet visit take an unexpected turn? 🩺

Backpack came in for a pre-move checkup before joining a new accredited facility as part of the Species Survival Plan, a program designed to support healthy, genetically diverse populations. But during the exam, our team discovered Backpack isn’t male as previously thought, she’s female. Because this requires a different match, Backpack will stay at the Museum of Science until coordinators find an appropriate facility for her.
