A shield above a furry bodySourced
The pink fairy armadillo’s armour has a limited attachment
Argentina’s pink fairy armadillo has a dorsal shield connected to the body along a central ridge. Continuous fur covers the body beneath it. The arrangement puts armour and fur together rather than making the shield a covering attached everywhere.
The body remains furry underneath its armour.
