I will admit I went to double check that they are in fact real, as they really do look made up :-).

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social What?! Amazing 😃

@TarkabarkaHolgy
In Central Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. I agree it sounds unlikely, This article gives a better flavour than Wikipedia.

@TarkabarkaHolgy

Amazing! It looks so alien!

@TarkabarkaHolgy makes good company for platypus in the club of impossible animals 8)

@TarkabarkaHolgy I didn't believe that this could be a member of the armadillo family at first, because it doesn't look like it could total car if you hit it. 🤣

@TarkabarkaHolgy That's just a What 3 Words address

@TarkabarkaHolgy as a big fan of this lil’ miracle, hear me out: pink fairy armadillo is a cute name, but the spanish one!! Pichiciego!!
As a hungarian i think it sounds hillarious: “picsiszíégó” #pichiciego

@TarkabarkaHolgy

This is just hamster Nigiri

@TarkabarkaHolgy

I now know exacy how those European naturalists felt when presented with a platypus specimen back in the 18th century. 😆

@TarkabarkaHolgy hairy shrimp

@TarkabarkaHolgy interesting fact.🤓

@TarkabarkaHolgy I just. What. It's so. What what what. Brain broken. What what what.

@TarkabarkaHolgy Everyone should know about the adorable pink fairy armadillos, and the greater fairy armadillos which grow to a whopping 17cm and apparently cry like a human baby 🥺

@TarkabarkaHolgy 🙂

@TarkabarkaHolgy

It does look a bit like a gopher or similar with cosplay armour though 🙂👍

@TarkabarkaHolgy I had to go look it up to make sure it was real. So neat looking!

@TarkabarkaHolgy I thought this was a shrimp while I was scrolling.

@TarkabarkaHolgy you can’t fool me. That’s nigiri.

@TarkabarkaHolgy how baby of them

@TarkabarkaHolgy

when a daddy centipede and a mommy mole love each other very much...

@TarkabarkaHolgy
The resemblance to an ACTUAL Armadillo is about as close as a "Giant Panda" has to a "Red Panda".

@TarkabarkaHolgy This is a #shrimp on drugs. You can tell by the shell color. For this reason you all must go #vegan. I mean, look how cute he? is? Ignore the tail. #God is working on that shit right now. He had other things to do at he time like starting WW1, 2 and the other ones and also figuring out what putin was supposed to do to make him comparable to hitler. The point is that tail is coming off so ignore it.

@TarkabarkaHolgy with all that armor and those big defensive claws I can only conclude that they evolved to this state because they must be quite delicious 🤣

@TarkabarkaHolgy oh my dog this is absolutely adorable our new favourite critter

@TarkabarkaHolgy Mind. Blown.

@TarkabarkaHolgy
Thank you for taking care on this rare species.
In Bavaria I saw the last Wolpertinger in the forest close to Hintertupfing, yesterday.
Very rare!

@TarkabarkaHolgy
...not to forget the Bavarian Wolpertinger

@TarkabarkaHolgy
My 12 year old granddaughter was thrilled when I showed her your post. We had to research them some more and now she wants to go to Argentina!
