Viscacha 2
The plains viscacha lives in
underground burrows marked by large mounds at the surface; whereas the mountain viscacha
finds refuge in rock crevices high in the mountains. Both types of viscacha live in colonies with
other individuals, visiting other burrows when the dusk falls. Plains viscacha are found in
Argentina and Brazil. Mountain viscacha are found in the Andes from Peru to Argentine.
Viscacha are close relatives of the chinchilla.
