The recently unveiled mascot of the 2014 World Cup in Brasil...a 7-meter inflatable armadillo...has been vandalized again...this time in Brasilia...where youths attacked it with knives.
Last week...another version was damaged during a demonstration in Porto Alegre.
There are more versions of the grinning endangered armadillo mascot in Sao Paulo and other cities.
It's name...either Amijubi, Fuleco or Zuzeco...will be decided by a public vote.
