Doedicurus inoratidzika kuva yaigara mumapani eChaco-Pampean anotonhora uye ane unyoro okuchamhembe kwakadziva kumabvazuva kwePatagonia. Inogona kunge iri glyptodont yekupedzisira-yakapona, ine zvisaririra zvakaratidzwa kusvika makore zviuru zvisere kusvika zviuru zvinomwe zvakapfuura panguva yepakati Holocene, kunyangwe nguva idzi dzakapokana. Inogona kunge yakatsakatika pamusana pekuvhima kwevanhu uye kuchinja kwemamiriro okunze.
