A woman, while walking with her son in the park, discovered a cute pink creature, which she thought is a type of mini-pig. But it turned out to be a completely different animal.

The creature that the woman mistook for a mini pig looked like this.

According to the Sohu portal, the woman and her son went on a picnic. While spreading the tablecloth, the woman noticed on a pink creature that looked like a small pig the size of a mouse.

The woman showed the unknown creature to her son, and the boy was very surprised he had never seen anything like this.

The child liked the animal and wanted to take him home. In order to find out exactly what kind of animal it was this woman began to search on the Internet. When she found out what kind of animal it was, she called the police.

It was a wild animal – a frilled armadillo.

The frilled armadillo is usually found in central Argentina and is the smallest species of armadillo. Why is this animal dangerous? These babies may be carriers of leprosy. The police arrived at the scene and took the animal away.  The woman and her son received medical assistance.

Remember, don’t touch any wild animal, even if it’s so cute!
