These include the capybara, the agouti, the coypu, the cavy and the chinchilla. |
Now, what people don't know is that a chinchilla can stay clean by dust baths. |
They are definitely not rats or squirrels, and are only vaguely like a guinea pig or a chinchilla. |
Living caviomorphs include guinea pigs, chinchillas, and capybaras, which at 50 kg weigh in as the largest living rodents. |
I was trapped for about half an hour with the chinchillas jumping around chewing on my hair. |
Unfortunately, chinchillas are nearly extinct in the wild, so little is known of their behavior under natural conditions. |
