Short-tailed chinchilla

The Short-tailed Chinchilla can be found in the Andes Mountain range of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.

The Short-tailed Chinchilla likes to burrow down below shelter rocks, as in they prefer to burrow under the rocks to maintain a good and strong shelter and also typically inhabit particularly colder areas because of their dense fur.

Critically Endangered in South American regions, though they are being bred in captivity.

Harmony,
