High-fives from Sassafras and Applesauce for #NationalChinchillaDay! ✋ While these two love greeting guests, wild chinchillas are endangered due to habitat loss from gold mining. Join us in raising awareness, small actions like recycling batteries can help protect their future. https://t.co/8aLtpEYNuu
