How do chinchillas adapt to their environment?

Answer 1

The chinchilla has adapted by having large ears to help other preditors.

Dust and sand are common in a chinchillas habitat. So they will clean themselves, chinchillas either gather in groups to help groom each other or roll around in the volcanic dust found mostly in their habitat. Though chinchillas mostly feed on hay if they are bought as a pet, in the wild, they know to nibble to keep their teeth trim and healthy.
