In this note we describe for the first time in Argentina an event that involved social (tolerance, proximity and sniffing), reproductive (mounting and chasing) and exploratory (sniffing entrances, digging and filling) 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.
