Chinchillas maintain their body temperature primarily through their dense fur, which provides insulation against temperature fluctuations. They are adapted to cooler climates and rely on this thick coat to retain heat in colder environments while dissipating heat in warmer conditions. Additionally, chinchillas are nocturnal, being more active during the cooler night hours, which helps them avoid overheating. They also regulate their body temperature by seeking cooler areas and drinking water to stay hydrated.
