The Matses believe that it is a death omen to encounter a giant armadillo as it is foraging during the day, or to find giant armadillo diggings in a swidden; such omens are interpreted to mean that someone (other than the observer) will soon die. Additionally, if one steps on dirt that an armadillo has dug up, one may become weak and thin. If a hunter sees or touches a giant armadillo, his children may fall ill. To cure the child’s illness, a medicine man will try several different medicinal plants, some of which are specific to contagion by giant armadillos and others are general for contagion caused by any

The giant armadillo is almost exclusively nocturnal. It does not make or use paths, although it may follow the same route occasionally. It travels far, visiting different streams. When it forages, it digs large holes, toppling saplings and removing roots. It leaves behind large piles of dirt and clay where it forages. It also forages by digging into rotten logs and at the base of swamp palms (
