There is also the Needle-tailed-Queensland-Ragglyopuck Hunting Chinchilla (Chinchilla Raggley), that lives in small burrows near the sea shores of South Africa and that feeds upon herbs and frogs, and in the Arctic circle a small white species without a common name (Chinchilla Snowythingus) dwells inside mounds of ice and eats seals. The only member dangerous to humans is the Flingy Dancing fish Chinchilla (Chinchilla Gruss Geo-Miamar) from Siam. It sometimes steals small children to eat if it's usual diet of crabs, berries, and mushrooms is depleted by overuse of the land by selfish farming tribes. Some, such as the Flat-headed chinchilla (Chinchilla Bucklestampus) of South America, are useful to humans for the ivory that grows in their horns.
