The chinchilla is a small and charming species of rodent, belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Rodentia, family Chinchillidae, genus Chinchilla, and species C. lanigera. Renowned for its soft and dense fur, the chinchilla has become a popular domesticated companion worldwide.

### Scientific name

The scientific name "Chinchilla lanigera" combines "Chinchilla," derived from the native Quechuan language, and "lanigera," which is Latin for "woolly" or "fleecy." This nomenclature aptly describes the chinchilla's distinctive soft and luxurious fur, highlighting its most iconic feature.

### Range

While native to the Andes mountains of South America, particularly in countries like Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina, the chinchilla has become a widespread and cherished companion in human settlements globally. Domesticated chinchillas are now found in households around the world, adapting well to different climates.

### Habitat

In their natural habitat, chinchillas inhabit rocky, high-altitude regions with dry, arid climates. They are adapted to living in crevices and burrows, providing them with protection from predators and the temperature extremes of their environment. Domesticated chinchillas thrive in cages or enclosures that mimic these natural characteristics, with ample opportunities for climbing and hiding.

### Diet

Chinchillas are strict herbivores with a diet primarily consisting of hay, fresh grass, and specially formulated chinchilla pellets. Their digestive system is adapted to a high-fiber diet, and proper nutrition is essential for their well-being. Treats such as dried fruits and vegetables are provided in moderation. Access to fresh water is crucial to maintain their hydration.

### Status

Chinchillas have been successfully domesticated and are kept as pets for their gentle nature, soft fur, and entertaining behaviors. They form bonds with their human caregivers and can coexist with other chinchillas when provided with adequate socialization. Domesticated chinchillas are valued for their charming personalities, making them popular choices for rodent enthusiasts.

Coyote

A coyote

The **coyote** (Canis latrans) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a least-concern and omnivorous species of canine native to all terrestrial habitats in North and Central America.

## Biology

### Classification

The coyote is a species of canine belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Carnivora, family Canidae, genus Canis, and species C. latrans. They encompass a diverse group of carnivorans that includes wolves, foxes, and dogs.

### Scientific name

The scientific name Canis latrans holds significance in understanding the species. "Canis" refers to the genus, while "latrans" is Latin for "barking" or "yelping," highlighting the vocal nature of these canids. This nomenclature aids in the accurate identification and classification of it.

### Range

Coyotes are native to all terrestrial habitats in North and Central America. Their range extends from Canada in the north through the United States of America and Mexico, reaching into parts of Central America. This adaptability contributes to their widespread distribution across a variety of ecosystems, from forests and grasslands to deserts and urban areas.

### Habitat

Coyotes display remarkable adaptability to different environments, allowing them to inhabit a wide range of habitats. They are commonly found in forests, grasslands, deserts, and urban areas. This versatility has enabled coyotes to thrive in diverse ecosystems, including those altered by human activities.

### Diet

As omnivores, coyotes have a varied diet that includes small mammals, birds, insects, fruits, and vegetation. They are opportunistic hunters and scavengers, displaying a keen ability to adjust their diet based on seasonal availability and environmental conditions. In urban areas, they may also consume human-associated food sources.

### Status

The coyote is currently classified as Least Concern (LC) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This designation indicates that it is not facing imminent threats to its survival or a significant decline in population. The adaptability and resilience of coyotes contribute to their overall conservation status.

Blobfish

A blobfish

The **blobfish** (Psychrolutes marcidus) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a not evaluated and piscivorous species of fish native to coral reefs in oceans worldwide except the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans.

## Biology

### Classification

The blobfish is a unique and not formally evaluated species of fish. Blobfish belong to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Actinopterygii, order Scorpaeniformes, family Psychrolutidae, genus Psychrolutes, and species P. marcidus, a group of deep-sea fish known for their gelatinous appearance. The blobfish is a piscivorous species, meaning it primarily feeds on other fish.

### Scientific name

The scientific name "Psychrolutes marcidus" is derived from Greek words. "Psychrolutes" combines "psycho" (meaning cold) and "lutes" (meaning bath), emphasizing its preference for deep and cold oceanic environments. The specific epithet "marcidus" signifies the sluggish or inert nature of the blobfish, a characteristic associated with its gelatinous body.

### Range

The blobfish is native to coral reefs in oceans worldwide, excluding the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. They are found in various regions and depths, often dwelling in the deeper parts of the ocean near coral reefs.

### Habitat

Blobfish are adapted to life in the deep sea, typically at depths ranging from six hundred to one thousand two hundred meters (two thousand to three thousand nine hundred feet). The blobfish is known to inhabit coral reefs, where it can find suitable conditions for its piscivorous lifestyle. The gelatinous structure of the blobfish allows it to withstand the high pressures of the deep-sea environment.

### Diet

As a piscivorous fish, the blobfish predominantly preys on other fish. The blobfish's unique appearance and lack of muscular strength suggest that it is an ambush predator, relying on the element of surprise to capture its prey in the deep-sea environment. Its diet is crucial for maintaining ecological balance within coral reef ecosystems.

### Status

As of the latest available information, the blobfish is not formally evaluated on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The lack of a formal evaluation may be due to the deep-sea habitat and the challenges associated with studying and monitoring species in these environments. While blobfish are not typically targeted by fisheries, the broader impact of human activities on deep-sea ecosystems raises concerns about the potential indirect threats to species like the blobfish.

## Role in movie
