Chinchillas can spit up to about 6 feet (1.8 meters) as a defense mechanism. This behavior is typically used to deter predators or threats. The spitting is actually a way of ejecting fur and can be accompanied by a strong odor, which is part of their natural defense strategy. However, it's worth noting that spitting is not a common behavior and usually occurs when the chinchilla feels threatened.
