Make your own adorable armadillo! The Pink Fairy Armadillo is the smallest armadillo in the world, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand! These tiny armored mammals live in the scrub lands and deserts of Argentina. They are rarely seen, so data on their population size and health is largely unknown, though they are threatened by farming activities and predation by domestic dogs and cats.
