Geocache Description:

This cache is placed close to Novi's Rotary Park. This cache has special significance as we had a chinchilla growing up. His name was Chip and he was a great family pet.

This cache is a nano...apparently someone put another cache container nearby when they couldn't find the original. Whatever one you find is fine with me. The original though is a NANO!!!

Chinchillas are crepuscular rodents, slightly larger than ground squirrels, native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they belong to the family Chinchillidae.
The animal (whose name literally means "little Chincha") is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who once wore its soft and dense fur.[1] By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare due to hunting for their fur. Most chinchillas currently used by the fur industry for clothing and other accessories are farm-raised.[2]

This is the last cache (3 of 3) in the "C" cache animal series.
