How does a chinchilla protect itself?

Answer 1

biting

Chinchillas can jump up to 5 feet in the air to get away from a predator.

Also if a predator gets a hold of them they can do this thing called a fur slip which is where they loose a patch of fur voluntarily and with out hurting themselves to cause the predators grip to slip. Also they spray the animal with a very nasty smelling substance. Biting is a last resort but can be affective. They can also use intimidation, by puffing themselves up and bark as loud as they can to try and scare the predator away.

Answer 2

Chinchillas usually run to get away from predators, as they are very fast. They also do something call "Slip" if they are caught. They release some fur from their body to help them slip out of the predators grasp and leave the attacker with only some fur in their mouth.
