Unlike other species of armadillo, Pink Fairy Armadillos have a flexible shell attached to a dorsal membrane. They also have small eyes and silky fur. Their fine hair is useful in environments with variable temperatures- it is used to conserve heat while outside the burrow, since they are nocturnal and night temperatures in Argentina can get quite low.
The Pink Fairy Armadillo is 3.5-4.5 in long and usually weighs about 120g.
