Description: Brief description, habitat and behavior information, with breeder listings and related links.
Chinchillas came from high up in the Andes Mountains of South America in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. In the 1500s the Spanish conquered the Chinca Indians and brought Chinchilla furs to Europe as gifts to royalty. Wild Chinchilla colonies were hunted almost to extinction during the 1800s. Over a million Chinchillas were trapped and their pelts shipped to Europe. In the beginning of the 20th century the South American governments passed laws banning the hunting of Chinchillas. In terms of habitat erosion Chinchillas are still endangered. Nowadays they can only be found in the mountains of Bolivia.
