Chinchilla



The Chinchilla, or to give it its scientific name: Paulo Chincha, is only to be found in the wild at present in Chile. Their lifespan can be 15-22 years.

They eat Grass hay and special Chinchilla pellets that you are able to buy from a pet shop. They are always grey and find hot climates tougher to survive in than cold ones. They have a medium/long tail and black eyes. Like an elephant they have quite big ears along with strong claws designed for climbing.
