Really? A pink fairy armadillo? That sounds pretty damn ridiculous if you ask me, but none-the-less it is as real as its Texas cousin, though much much more mystical.
We were at the Museum of Natural History in DC the other day, and upon seeing this guy, Alexandra and I decided that there was no way such an animal could exist.
But they do, in Argentina. Unfortunately they are endangered due to destruction of habitat.
Not only does the pink fairy armadillo have pink armor, it also has furry white sides and can bury itself within a few seconds (You wish you were this cool). They eat termites and ants, and apparently do not make good pets, because they cannot survive in captivity for more than a few years. Sad.
