Today is National Chinchilla Day. Do you know that chinchillas are endangered in the wild? This is mainly due to habitat changes from mining and infrastructure development. You can take action by recycling old jewelry and properly disposing of or recycling batteries. We have three long-tailed chinchillas (Gunther, Wolfgang, and Oskar) who are education ambassador animals at the Zoo. They help our education team teach students of all ages about the importance of chinchilla conservation! | Pittsbu
