A violet chinchilla, named for the purple hue of their fur, from Cameron’s Chinchillas, reported by My Modern Met.

Mackenzie Maier, senior, says “chinchillas were my favorite animal when I was in elementary school. I’m so excited to see one in real life!”

Animals of different habitats and sizes are used for public entertainment at the expense of their overall health.
