Chinchilla
(Chinchilla lanigera)

Argentina, Chile and Peru, South America – "Foster" (gray), "Dusty" (black), and "Snowball" (white), cuddly, cold weather mountain-dwellers with gigantic eyes, bushy whiskers, and lush fur that's too good for some old human's fur coat. As fur farm rescues, they are the lucky ones. Perfect choice for all ages.

This species is on the CITES Appendix I List (meaning that the species is threatened with extinction and all international trade is prohibited).
