North American chinchilla (SciiFii)

A North American chinchilla is a species (Chinchilla septentrionali) is a species of crepuscular chinchilla that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, alpine, and tundra habitats across North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American chinchillas are very similar to the long-tailed chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera), but are larger and slightly more robust, about the size of the short-tailed chinchillas (Chinchilla chinchilla). They can live on the lowlands and at high elevations of up to 4,270 m (14,000 ft). The North American chinchilla has the densest fur amongst mammals that live on land, along with the South American chinchillas. Like other chinchillas, the North American chinchillas are often kept as pets, and may be considered a type of pocket pet, but unlike other chinchillas, they are very tolerant to be petted by people, making them much more suitable pets than South American chinchillas. In the wild, North American chinchillas burrow under rocks or in the ground for shelter. They mostly live in cool and colder climates, for which they are well-adapted because of their dense fur. They feed upon a wide range of vegetation. They are social animals living in colonies or herds; North American chinchillas usually have litters of one or two offspring. The conservation status of the North American chinchilla is Least Concern, unlike most other chinchillas, due to successful conservation efforts, the North American chinchilla's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
