He is from a much different part of the world. These little fellas originate from the Andes Mountains and this is the long-tail variety. His personality is wild! He is extremely expressive, quite smart and loves to play peek-a-boo.

Chinchillas are farmed for fur, unfortunately. 😢

I'm not surprised about the fur farming tbh :/

Their fur is incredibly dense and soft iirc
