Pink Fairy Armadillo facts

A mammal that almost never turns up above ground: Chlamyphorus truncatus, the Pink Fairy Armadillo, makes its home in Argentina's sandy flats. At roughly 9 to 12 centimeters in body length, it's the smallest armadillo still living. The build is what sells the underground life: a delicate pink shell, pale fur with a silky feel, and claws strong enough to do real digging work. Most of its existence plays out below the sand, which is why sightings in the wild are so uncommon. So yeah, an animal this strange genuinely does exist
