• This unique animal usually resides in dry grasslands and sandy plains. This sandy environment makes it comfortable since they are known as excellent diggers. They have the ability to completely conceal them in a matter of seconds if they are threatened.

• The pink fairy armadillo uses their digging abilities to burrow in areas beside large ant colonies. Ants provide a constant food source for this species of armadillo. As well, they may also forage on worms, snails and plant matter but ants are their number one choice.
