Are chinchillas Australian? I had the idea they were from someplace in South America.
Personally, I think squirrels with little tiny lime green mohawks would look AWESOME.
New Zealand is way out of the running for "best wildlife". We don't have any native animals at *all*, everything was introduced from other countries.
