This is the pink fairy armadillo, or pichiciego, the world’s smallest armadillo species. It lives in central Argentina and, excluding the tail, it is pink. When frightened it can bury itself in just a few seconds. Little is known about this tiny nocturnal creature, but in 2008 it was listed as a threatened species –habitat loss as well as feral cats and dogs have contributed to its decline.
