The southern long-nosed armadillo is a mammal with a bony shell on its back and head. It lives in South America, digs burrows, and feeds on insects.
The southern long-nosed armadillo is distinguished by its long nose and life in open grassy areas. It benefits the soil by digging burrows and helps nature by eating harmful insects.
