The Pink Fairy Armadillo | #WeirdestAnimals



This strange Armadillo is actually the smallest kind of Armadillo with a strange fashion sense - they've got very light pink scales and fluffy white fur underneath, mostly smaller than 10cm long. They actually reside in the dry grasslands and sandy planes of central Argentina and are surprisingly skilled at digging burrows beside large ant colonies, partly as ants provide a plentiful food supply for the armadillo. When they dig, they use their large front claws to effortlessly move through the sand. They even live a life surprisingly similar to the mole, they only come out of their burrow to feed at night and are very solitary animals.
