This is the very smallest (only 5-6 inches (12-15 cm)) of all the
armadillos and is the only one with such strange
fashion sense. It has very
light pink colored scales and fluffy looking white fur underneath. Sometimes the scales are less pink and a little more yellow or brownish.
They live only in
Argentina on the sandy plains and in arid grasslands and brush land. Its preferred
food is ant larvae and ants but they will eat worms and other creepy crawlers as well as a few plants and roots. Their sturdy claws help them unearth thefood they eat and also swim, claw, and drag themselves through the sandy environment they live in
