[rare-kintypes]

PINK FAIRY ARMADILLO (Chlamyphorus truncatus)

Appearance: Pink fairy Armadillos have yellow/white fur, and dorsal shells like other armadillos. Their dorsal shells are pink or coral in color, as the name suggests. They have smaller eyes, and are actually the smallest kind of armadillos at 90-115mm or 3.5-4.5in long! They have large claws to dig into the ground and burrow, and just like any other armadillo it can curl up into a ball to protect itself.

Location: They live in the central part of Argentina, but it has been found in very few other places. They live in the shrubby parts where theres place to burrow but also places to hide beneath or under shrubs.

Behavior: we dont know a lot about its behavior, as theyre rare and hard to keep in captivity, but we know they are solitary creatures. It’s also safe to assume they act similarly to other armadillos.

BUSH DOG (Speothos Venaticus)

Appearance: Bush dogs are medium sized, at 57-75cm or 22-30in(head to body). Their tails are 12.5-15cm or 5-6in. To their shoulder, they stand at around 20-30cm or 8-12in. They’re normally brown/tanish with lighter, redder tints on their neck, face, and back. Their undersides are usually darker browns or blacks, but some have lighter throat patches.

Location: Bush dogs are found in central South America, like Costa Rica, and as far as southern Brazil.

Behavior: Bush dogs are carnivorous; most of their meals include Cabybara, Pacas, and Acouchis. An easier way to put it is just large rodents. Bush dogs can hunt alone but are found in smaller packs. They act similar to wolves in the way their packs function. The adult pair are the only two that breed, and the others protect young, hunt food, and fighting off rivals. For shelter, they use hollowed out places, like empty burrows.
