As a youngest daughter, I would like to apologize to my sister, Celeste.

Claire Gammon wanted to know, can we talk about the sweet wombats armored butt?

You've gotten to meet a wombat in situ, right?

Pink fairy armadillo is more than deserving of your Google image search.

But since you might be, I don't know, refinishing a bookshelf or driving a wheat combine or changing a diaper that needs more immediate attention, or God forbid, maybe you're on a lime scooter right now with no helmet, don't

Do that.

I'm just going to share the visuals with you auditorily.

So a pink fairy armadillo.

It's like four inches long.

It's tiny.

Absorb that.

It's four inches long.

It looks like a mole creature with huge, big, scaly mitts for paws.

It's got a furry, blonde stomach.

and then this blush-colored plate of armor on its dorsal side.

It looks like if you draped an oblong potholder on its back as it waddled away.

It doesn't even cover its whole body.

It also doesn't look like an earth creature.

It looks like something scuttling in the corner of like starship troopers.

I want to witness one.
