Chinchillas appeared on our planet many thousands of years ago
The word "chinchilla" comes from the name of the Peruvian province of Chincha, which is located in Peru. The Indians called the funny creature "Chincha".
Chinchilla is native to South America.
The natural habitat of chinchillas includes the desert highlands of the Andes (Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina).
Chinchillas prefer dry rocky areas at altitudes from 400 to 5000 m above sea level. There are only two types of these animals: the small long-tailed chinchilla and the large short-tailed (or Peruvian). They differ only in the size and length of the tail.
The short-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla chinchilla or Chinchilla brevicaudata) is found under the names Bolivian, Peruvian, and Royal chinchilla. Its natural range is the Chilean-Argentine Andes, Peru, and Bolivia. The long-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) is a very rare species in the wild that lives in the highlands of the Andes in Chile. It has a long bushy tail and long whiskers that help the rodent navigate in the dark and find food.
