Chinchilla hair. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of chinchilla hairs. Chinchillas,rodents in the family Chinchillidae,have the densest fur of any animal. Up to 70 hairs can grow from a single follicle,whereas in humans a follicle houses a single hair. The hair is also uniform,with few,if any,guard hairs,and at under 1 micrometre in diameter is approximately 500 times finer than human hair. Chinchillas are native to the Andes mountains of South America,but are kept as pets in countries worldwide | |
