The White Mosaic Chinchilla (White Mosaic Chinchilla) has a white background with distinct grey markings, a beautiful pattern on the face, black eyes and grey ears. Since the white hereditary gene cannot exist in a homozygous form, the genotype of the silver-spotted chinchilla is one white hereditary gene plus one standard gray hereditary gene. However, the white genetic gene can be combined with other dominant or recessive genetic genes, and the offspring will have more or less white on the body, especially at the end of the tail. The vast majority of white chinchillas will have gray fur, which is affected by the standard gray genetic gene, and the gray distribution on each white chinchilla is different, and some form symmetrical on the face. Beautiful patterns, some are grey all over with only a white tail, we call this chinchilla with both white and grey fur as White Mosaic. Some chinchillas are pure white, called Pure White or Wilson White. Although they are rare and precious, they are definitely not pure pink white (Albino White), because the eyes are still black, but the standard gray genetic gene is not in the coat color. Just have an impact.

Chinchillas are native to In the Andes Mountains of South America, the caves and rock crevices at an altitude of 1,600 feet are their settlements. The local weather is dry and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Chinchillas usually rely on some tropical plants (such as bark, roots, cacti) to survive, so their vitality is extremely strong, and it is also very suitable for the Chinese environment.

Chinchilla, the scientific name of Chinchilla, was renamed My Neighbor Totoro by Hong Kong people because its appearance resembled the cartoon chinchilla in the movie My Neighbor Totoro by Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki.
