    The giant armadillo is a small, heavy-bodied armadillo found in eastern South America with short legs, a long tail, and dark brown shell. It digs burrows near water sources using long claws and lives off a diet of ants and termites. Its population is very low at between 5.77 and 6.28 per 100 km2 due to low reproduction rates and destruction of habitat by humans.
