It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical, moist, lowland forests and subtropical or tropical, moist montane forests. The International Union for Conservation of Nature used to consider it a "vulnerable species" but has changed this assessment to "data deficient" because so little is known about the animal and the threats it faces.〔 ==Description== The hairy long-nosed armadillo is poorly known. Like other species of ''Dasypus'', it has a hard armour-like shell, called a carapace. The armour consists of ossified dermal plates composed of a number of movable bands covered by leathery skin.

The front part of the tail is protected by keratinised rings of scales. The front feet have four strong claws and the hind feet five. It has a distinctive coat of long reddish-brown or grayish-brown fur which grows through tiny pores in its armour.
