This nocturnal animal (would you come out during the day if your mother named you that?) is the smallest of all armadillos, and it's currently endangered due to human destruction of its habitat, domestic dogs and possibly homophobia.

"This is a pichiciego, or pink fairy armadillo, from Argentina"
Not advocating this, mind you, but it seems consistent with Cracked 'humor'.
