Question:
I found some pictures on Flickr that are tagged as being pictures of chinchillas, but I'm not sure whether they are in fact wild chinchillas:

(to see larger versions of the pictures, click on an individual picture, then click on all sizes)
What do you guys think?


Answer:
That actually looks like a viscacha, a cousin of the chinchilla.

Answer:
Thanks Sophie! That's exactly what they look like. They kind of look like a cross between a chinchilla and a rabbit/hare.
