Baby Chinchilla
This type of crepuscular rodent is called a chinchilla, which can only be found roaming in the wild in Chile in rare colonies. They were once prevalent in many South American countries like Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, beyond Chile. As for their fur, it is the densest out of all terrestrial mammals. This makes them a supremely popular target of hunters and poachers, who sell their extremely gentle fur for a large profit. Sadly, this overhunting has led to their endangered status back in 2016.
