Have you heard? The standard gray Chinchilla will now be called The Sterling Chinchilla!! This change is long overdue. The sterling is the base of every good breeding program and standard Chinchilla in my opinion does not do it justice. I’m so happy it now has a name that represents. It’s beautiful color and coat and place in the Chinchilla world.

The Short-Tailed Chinchilla

In the United States, this rodent is known as the short-tailed Chinchilla and is also known as the Bolivian or Peruvian Chinchilla. Chinchillas of this species are considered endangered, thus you won’t find them at pet stores. They have similar morphological qualities to long-tailed Chinchillas, however, they have larger shoulders and shorter tails.

Short-tailed Chinchillas are known for their lovely bluish-grey fur, which is incredibly soft and dense and regarded as one of the world’s most precious. The species was once common in the Andes, but now only exists in a small fringe area of the Atacama Desert on the Bolivia-Chile border.

However, it is thought that hunting pressure has diminished as a result of the adoption of domesticated Chinchilla to meet the demand for its fur and that the population may be rebounding in some regions, since two new populations in the Atacama, northern Chile, have been documented by camera traps. Mining, agriculture, and grazing all pose challenges to this species, resulting in habitat loss.

Chinchillas are fascinating animals about which you may acquire a lot of information. We must recognize the value of every living being in the globe, not only for a certain region but for the entire world. As a result, the importance of these adorable animals is enormous, and we must protect them.
