The Nine-banded Armadillo is a very adaptable creature. Originally adapted from a warm, wet environment, he also will happily make his home in prairies, scrubland and even rainforest. However, his small size and poor insulation makes him susceptible to the cold and dehydration. He is an extensive burrower, maintaining a number of burrows within his territory. At dusk, he hunts for insects and small vertebrates. His sense of smell is senstive enough to detect a worm buried 20cm deep.
