The name of the mascot for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has been named Fuleco. The name is a combination of the words futebol (soccer) and Ecology (Ecology). One of the reasons it was chosen for the armadillo, because it is threatened with extinction. It is hoped that attention to the environment assists in the survival of the animal.
