Carapace is dark brown to black, with broad light-colored band around its lower part and 11-13 movable transverse bands. Claws are thick and powerful on forefeet, with greatly enlarged, sickle-shaped claw on third forefinger (up to 203 mm). The Giant Armadillo walks on soles of its hindfeet, but only tips of front claws are in contact with the ground. Females have two nipples. The Giant Armadillo has more teeth than any other species of armadillo and most other mammals. Average dental formula is 15/17 or 18/19, but it is highly variable and can reach up to 100 teeth or even more. Chromosomal complementis 2n = 50, FN = 76.</paragraph>

|
||
The Giant Armadillo is mainly insectivorous, eating primarily ants and termites and occasionally other invertebrates (spiders, beetles, cockroaches, millipedes, and worms), small snakes, carrion, and rarely figs and other fruit. It obtains its food mainly by digging with its well-developed claws while standing on its large hindfeet and using its tail as a fifth limb for support.

|
||
Female Giant Armadillos give birth to one, exceptionally two, young per year. Offspring remain inside the burrow during most of the lactation period of 4-6 months. Females sometimes leave offspring inside the burrow and close the entrance to impede predator attacks.

|
||
The Giant Armadillo is highly fossorial and nocturnal, but daytime activity has been recorded inside burrows. Females with offspring may initiate their activity period around or shortly after sunset, earlier than other adults. Burrow entrances are semicircular, 41-47 cm wide, and 30-37 cm high. Burrows are often constructed in sloped terrain near water bodies or under active termite mounds. The Giant Armadillo can use the same burrow for several days (usually 1-2 but up to 17 days) and reuse old burrows. At least 26 other vertebrate species will use Giant Armadillo burrows.

|
||
The Giant Armadillo is presumably solitary, except during breeding and while females rear their offspring. It is naturally rare where it occurs. It has a very patchy distribution. Home ranges vary regionally between 452 ha and 1500 ha. Home ranges of males and females often overlap. Densities range from 3-4 ind/100 km? in Brazil to 5-8 ind/100 km? in Colombia and 5-8-6-3 ind/100 km? in Bolivia.

|
||
CITES Appendix I. Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. The Giant Armadillo population has suffered a decline of at least 30% over the past 20 years and historically probably occurred to Cordoba and Santa Fe provinces (to ¢.31° S) in Argentina. It is hunted for meat throughout its distribution and is heavily affected by habitat loss and fragmentation through deforestation, land use change, and agriculture. Collection for museum specimens and illegal trafficking, either to keep the Giant Armadillo as a pet or to sell it as a “living fossil” on the black market, are also conservation threats. The Giant Armadillo has become locally extirpated in some areas, especially in its southern distribution. Therefore, it is listed in a threatened category in eight of the eleven countries in its distribution and may be extinct in Uruguay.
