Chinchilla

The fluffy fur on Chinchillas evolved to withstand extreme conditions, in this case, the chilly Andean mountains of western Chile. It has long been hunted and raised for its luxurious, silvery gray fur. In actuality, it has the thickest fur of any land animal. Both chinchilla species are regarded as endangered due to the demand for their fur, and the short-tailed chinchilla is almost extinct in the wild.

Chinchillas are popular as pets because of their affectionate personalities and fluffy cuteness, but they require a lot of upkeep. Their enclosure's temperature needs to be controlled, their teeth need to be looked after, and they occasionally need to take a wash in fine pumice dust. They’re easily stressed and also subject to depression.
