00:07 - I have been working in the Argentine desert for 15 years
00:18 and I've never seen a pink fairy.
00:19 They would tell me that there was some in Mendoza
00:25 so I went around the desert
00:27 and I looked for fairies and just couldn't find them.

01:38 - We don't even know if it's a rare animal

01:52 Pink fairy armadillos are quite different
01:57 actually than other armadillos.
01:59 In all other armadillos, the carapace is attached
02:03 to the body of the animal.
02:05 Whereas in the fairy armadillos,
02:07 it is only attached to a thin membrane
02:10 in the dorsal midline and at the back plate.
02:13 It's very flexible and very soft
02:16 and detached from the body.

03:11 Pink fairy armadillo has a round plate
03:27 or it's also called the butt plate.
03:29 It's very strong and this is used to compact the soil.
03:35 It starts digging forward and then back up
03:38 and compacts the sand behind it.
