While most armadillos will eat small vertebrates and scavenge carrion, Macroeuphractus' teeth suggest it was a more aggressive predator, capable of taking relatively large prey. It lived in Argentina and Boliva from the late Miocene to the late Pliocene. Like its living relatives, it had sturdy claws for digging and was protected by bands of scaly armour.
