Fuleco
Tatu-bola, an armadillo that defends itself from predators by rolling up into a ball, was chosen as the official mascot by FIFA in September 2012. After the draft paper design by Brazil, it was actually manufactured by Kayford Holdings Ltd, a Chinese company based in Hangzhou which as the offical licensee has the right to set prices for the plush mascots and other related products.
