Mountain viscachas (Lagidium spp.) are a type of rodent that are found in the high-altitude regions of the Andes Mountains in Bolivia and other parts of South America. They are part of the chinchilla family and are closely related to rabbits and hares.
Mountain viscachas have thick, woolly fur that is gray or brown in color. They have long, bushy tails that they use for balance and to communicate with other viscachas. They are about the size of a large rabbit, with a body length of around 18-25 inches and a weight of 3-5 pounds.
These animals are herbivores and mainly eat grasses, herbs, and other vegetation. They are active during the day and spend much of their time sunning themselves on rocks or other exposed surfaces. They are social animals that live in colonies with as many as 50 individuals. They communicate with each other using a range of vocalizations and body language.
Mountain viscachas are preyed upon by a range of predators, including eagles, foxes, and wild cats. They are also hunted by humans for their fur, which is used in clothing and accessories. Despite these threats, mountain viscachas are still fairly common in their natural habitat and are not considered to be endangered.
