About this species
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), also called the nine-banded long-nosed armadillo or common armadillo, is a species of armadillo native to South America. The Mexican long-nosed armadillo of North America was formerly treated as a subspecies of the nine-banded armadillo.
The nine-banded armadillo is a solitary, mainly nocturnal animal, found in many kinds of habitats, from mature and secondary rainforests to grassland and dry scrub. It is an insectivore, feeding chiefly on ants, termites, and other small invertebrates. The armadillo can jump 91–120 cm (3–4 ft) straight in the air if sufficiently frightened, making it a particular danger on roads.

九带犰狳（学名：Dasypus novemcinctus）是一种生活在北美洲、中美洲及南美洲的犰狳。它们是最为广泛分布的一种。它的祖先在南美洲演化，并在300万年前的南北美洲生物大迁徙进入北美洲。
九带犰狳是独行及主要夜间活动的动物，在很多地方都可以见到它们，如雨林及草原。它们是吃昆虫的，主要吃蚁、白蚁及其他细小的无脊椎动物。
九带犰狳可以令其肠脏膨涨，方便渡河。它们亦可以闭气达6分钟，经底部穿过河流。每胎生产四只幼犰狳。九带犰狳若被惊吓，可以跳起达90-120厘米。
