Brazil's 2014 World Cup mascot, Fuleco, has been slammed by critics for bumping and grinding with scantily clad women. The armadillo, which has come under fire for his raunchy moves, was initially criticised as the selection for the mascot, as the species is threatened with extinction in the wild because of hunting and loss of habitat. According to FIFA, Fuleco "is really sociable, loves dancing and all types of music" while the mascot says that he has special dance moves to celebrate Brazil's unique rhythm.
