Chinchilla
Chinchillas are crepuscular (most active around dawn and dusk) rodents, slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels. They are native to the Andes mountains in South America and live in colonies called "herds" at high elevations up to 4,270 m (14,000 ft). Historically, chinchillas lived in an area that included parts of Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile, but today colonies in the wild are known only in Chile. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they make up the family Chinchillidae.
The chinchilla (whose name literally means "little chincha") is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who once wore its dense, velvet-like fur. By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare due to hunting for their ultra-soft fur. Most chinchillas currently used by the fur industry for clothing and other accessories are farm-raised.
Chinchillas are currently listed as a critically endangered species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a severe population loss approximated at a 90% global population loss over the last 15 years. The severe population decline has been caused by chinchilla hunting by humans.

Chinchilla (band)
Chinchilla is a heavy metal band from Germany. The group was originally founded by guitarist Udo Gerstenmeyer in 1988, and released an EP entitled No Mercy in 1990. This incarnation of the band broke up just after the release of the album, but Gerstenmeyer reformed the band in 1994 and recorded a second EP. A full-length did not appear until 1998, after which the group signed to Metal Blade Records, for whom they would release several albums. Several line-up changes have occurred over the life of the band.

War machine
by: ChinchillaI´m listening to the latest news, I can´t believe it´s
true
The spokesman told and it will be, they fight for holy
15 minutes time to go or for their last show
This would be the end of all. The devil´s leave the
hall
The stars will fall from the sky. The sun will never
rise
The deepest night will reach the throne after rockets
proclaim the war
The preachers told it years before, the generals
blinding the masses
Their hail their bombs and their saints, the nuclear
power that´s their force
Holy evil fighting force
The war machine is coming
For their power and the glory
This should be the right time
And the place, where it will be
The war machine is coming
For their money and their blood
Cause peace is now falling
And death ruled on earth like God
I saw them clean this planet now with fire and their
force
To create their holy human kind only under their
control
I woke up in a panic dread thank god, it was a dream
Cold sweat is running down my neck. The TV spokesman
tells about
The first nuclear attack
The war machine is coming
For their power and the glory
This should be the right time
And the place, where it will be
The war machine is coming
For their money and their blood
Cause peace is now falling
