The six-banded armadillo (''Euphractus sexcinctus'') also known as the yellow armadillo, is a species of armadillo from South America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and isolated populations in Suriname (there known as ''siksi-banti kapasi''). Its body is usually yellowish in color, sometimes tan or light reddish-brown. It belongs to the monotypic genus ''Euphractus''. It is a solitary terrestrial animal, living in many habitats from rainforest to grassland, but mainly found on open areas, such as ''cerrado'' plains. It is omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of plant and animal matter. It shelters in a den underground. Unlike most species of armadillo, the six-banded armadillo is mostly diurnal rather than nocturnal.〔Bird, B. 1999. ''(Euphractus sexcinctus )'' (On-line), Animal Diversity Web.
