Rex Rabbit Chinchilla Jacket

Each single hair divides into as many as 70-80 different strands as it emerges from the skin. For this reason chinchilla fur cannot be successfully imitated. Although extremely soft, it is highly durable. Another remarkable feature is the extreme lightness of the fur. A square yard of chinchilla weighs no more than the same amount of silk, and even a large pelt generally does not exceed one ounce. For this reason chinchilla fur is ideally suited for trim on exclusive dresses and hats as well as coats etc.While mortality is extremely high in the early months of the life of the American Mink, animals that do survive the first year can live as long as three years in the wild. In captivity, mink can live 10-12 years and have on average 4-5 kits per litter once a year. The mink is found in places which suit its habits throughout almost all North America, from Florida to the Arctic. An endangered subspecies, the Everglades Mink (Mustela vison evergladensis), is endemic to the Florida Everglade
