    The chinchilla lives in herds of up to 100 in the Andes mountains, making homes in burrows or crevices. It is shaped like a small rabbit with extremely dense fur that keeps it warm. As a herbivore, it eats plants like seeds, flowers, and leaves. Chinchillas give birth to litters of 2-3 pups after a 109-120 day gestation period usually in winter or spring. However, chinchillas are endangered due to hunting for their fur to make coats, hats and bags, so people can help by not buying products with animal skins and denouncing illegal hunting.
