ADAPTATIONS: Mainly nocturnal or crepuscular, but have been observed sitting in
front of burrows on bright days. Chinchillas sit erect to eat, sunbathe and
groom. Dust baths are frequently observed in their behavior. They can
climb and jump bi-pedally with agility. Formerly found in colonies of
hundreds of individuals. Very few current colonies have been observed
with over 50 individuals. Females can be very aggressive towards
members of either sex, especially within captivity. Serious fighting is
rarely seen the wild; however, growling, chattering the teeth, and
urinating express aggression. Life span of10 years in the wild and up to 20
years in captivity.
DIET: Wild: Feces content analyzed in 2002 found that wild Chinchillas are found in the Andes Alpine
Mountain Area, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. The general coloration is bluish, pearl or brownish
gray. Each hair usually has a black tip. Underside is a yellowish-white.
Bushy tail covered with coarser hairs. Large mouse-like ears, large black
eyes, and a small squirrel-like body. Fur is extremely plush producing
more than 50 hairs per follicle. (Humans produce only 1 hair per follicle.)
Small bare palmed forefeet with 4 digits. Elongated back feet are also
bare soled with four weak claws and stiff bristles that may be used for
grooming. Cheek-teeth are ever growing and their incisors are colored. Wild: Feces content analyzed in 2002 found that wild chinchillas are
opportunistic generalized herbivores, which is probably an adaptation to
the harsh conditions and high variability in food availability in their arid
habitat.
