Chinchillas originate come from the Andes Mountains of South America. Nowadays, they are rarely found in their natural habitat apart from Northern Chile. Humans hunted chinchillas almost to extinction, both short-tailed and long-tailed, for their thick, valuable fur. These days, it is considered a protected animal, and due to this fact their population started to grow considerably.
