Resumen:
In this note we describe for the f rst time in Argentina, an event that involved social (tolerance, proximity and sniff ng), reproductive (mounting and chasing) and exploratory (sniff ng entrances, digging and f lling) behaviors of five individuals of Euphractus sexcinctus Linnaeus, 1758 in a mesophile forest of Mburucuyá National Park, Corrientes Province. These behaviors were observed at five entrances of a possible common burrow, a new trait for this species. For this region, observations suggest a mating period from August to November. All these observations contribute with new knowledge to the natural history of the species in Argentina.
