Another mega sighitng from Nicholas McPhee in Bolivia. Has any other mammal got such a large claw to body size ratio? I vote for a name change to Bigfoot Armadillo. Anyway, whether Fairy or Sasquatch Armadillo, its a genus I would love to see.
Pink Fairy Armadillo, Santa Cruz Department, 2020: Nicholas McPhee’s and Ivan Guiterrez’s report of a sighting after rain in November 2020.

Incredible species! Judging by the pictures, this looks like a great sighting from up close.
