Pink fairy armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncates)

The pink fairy armadillo is arguably the cutest in the world. It has a pink dorsal carapace and silky white fur on the rest of its body except its feet and tail. The smallest armadillo species measures just about 13cm and is endemic to the neotropical region of central Argentina.

The pink fairy armadillo's name is not the only unique feature; it also has a double skin1, which is unusual for mammals.
