The Viscacha

The Viscacha is a South American rodent who is very closely related to the chinchilla (they are both in the family Chinchillidae). If you want to see a majestic documentary about the Andes Mountains, please check out the ANDES: THE DRAGON’S BACK episode of PBS’s NATURE series. When we watch this clip we always imagine chinchillas running free in the wild like the viscachas.
