What makes a chinchilla different from other animals??

I am doing a project on it. Chinchilla owners, I would perfer you answer this question. Also, do they have weird habits?? Any other information. What would also help are really informative sites on the chinchilla.
Answers:
Chinchillas have extremely dense fur, to the point where they cannot get wet (because the water would not dry and could cause mold to build up in their fur!). So instead of taking baths, they have to roll around in a very finely-ground dust to get themselves clean.
i realy do not no i ahve one though.
we have 3 chinnies
daddy squlla (a standard gray), mommy girly(white mosiac), and new baby angelica (mixed)

chinnies are so cute! they are very interesting to watch play. i let mine play in our big bathroom and i sit in the floor and play with them, they run and hop around, they ramp off the walls while running (they're very fast). they'll climb all over you if they are comfortable with you. They love treats, especially raisins! they are nocturnal, so they are great if you work all day. They like to chew on apple tree limbs. They can be moody, girly shakes her cage door when i put her back in after play time. They are a very loving family, they snuggle and play together all the time.
I have a 2 year old chinchilla and his name is Gizzy! I wouldnt trade him for anything in this world! My god have u ever held one in your arms? They are soooo amazingly soft and I think anyone who wears a damn nasty chinchilla coat should have to own a chin for a good month first! That would change their minds! He is soooo sweet-funny-playful-and cuddly! He is litter trained and has full run of the house and loves to play with our 2 Pomeranians! What makes them different? They seem to understand other pets so well just thru sound. They come when u call their name and man- my Gizzy can melt my heart like no other can!
