Mom and son found a cute “mini-pig” and wanted to pick it up, but they realized in time who it was. They had to call the police

Helping miserable animals on the street is a kind act. But when you want to take them you need to find out what kind of animal it is or you will appear in an unusual and even a sirky situation.

So a woman of our story just was in such a state. She was walking with her son in the park when she noticed a pink little creature like a tiny pig. The boy was delighted and was hugging him a lot. When they decided to take him to home the woman realized that the tiny creature was somehow strange.

Then she searched for it on the Internet, and after finding out who this baby really was she even called the police. The »mini pig» was turned out to be a wild animal — a frilled armadillo.

The frilled armadillo is found in central Argentina and is the tiniest species of armadillo. They are extremely dangerous as they may be carriers of leprosy. The police took the animal away, and the mother and son received medical assistance.

So remember! Don’t touch a wild animal, even if it’s so cute!
