Publisher Introduction Chinchillas are fun, cute, and highly unique animals. Most people can claim that they have heard of a chinchilla, but very few know what they look like, or know much about them. This is because chinchillas are not native to a very unique part of the world, meaning they live in only one small area of the world. Chinchillas were discovered in the 1500s by Spanish explorers that came to South America. Even though they were discovered in the 1500s, it wasn't until the 1900s that people came to know more about chinchilla. Today, chinchillas can be kept as pets, and because of their cute and cuddly appearance, and their unique and quirky personalities, people all over the world have fallen in love with them. This book will talk about what chinchillas are, where they live and how they live, what they eat, and why these little furry critters are so lovably unique. |
