Prologue: Chinchillas rate very
high on the "Cuteometer." We can't resist taking pictures of the
little rascals. No info here -- just pictures.
LA
Later Addendum: Besides working at
Aqualand, Kathy Welsher also raises chinchillas -- the fancier (French for
more expensive) ones. She identified the various chinchillas I
photographed over time. I'll add their colors below their pictures.

PS All the colors look very similar to me. Thanks, Kathy.

darker than the sides. KW
