Chinichi Chinchilla is from the National Geographic Collection, highlighting some of the world's endangered animals.
The natural habitat of this cute little rodent is the mountainous regions of the Andean state Chile in South America. The main reason this lovely animal is hunted extensively in the wild is because of its super soft fur and is at unfortunately now at risk of extinction. The risk is further increased by the fact that the animal is captured and kept as a pet. Chinchillas are exported and sold around the world to owners who keep them in cages.
Chinchi is made of super soft grey and white plush with cute little pink nose, paws and inner ears. Grey detailing finishes him off perfectly capturing the natural animal.
