Chinchillas and rabbits come from the same family roots but are just as contrasting as paper is to pen. Most similarities revolve around their rodent features and petite size, which is a fair assumption that many would vouch for. But after that, the two start drifting on their own individual branches. Considering their distinct hygiene and perplexing appearance, anyone would have to think twice before mistaking one for the other.

These hind legs allow them to perform speedy hopes that can help them evade predators. A quick and cautious animal, with the perfect characteristics to avoid predators with… most of the time.

Yet even with all these distinct features, at the end of the day they're both still cherished rodents that many house and
