Some consider them to be rodents, some raise or hunt them for their fur in order to make various clothes and accessories, while there are some who also keep them as pets. These are the chinchillas, who are more robust and slightly larger than ground squirrels, and are found mainly in the Andes mountain in South America. The number of these rodents has gone down drastically as they were hunted for their fur, which was used to make clothes since the 16th century. The fur of the chinchilla was famous for its soft feel and color. Hence, it was mainly used to make the lining of larger-sized garments, although sometimes a large garment was also made from around 150 pelts.
