Exempel på hur man kan använda VISCACHAS i en mening

• The family Chinchillidae is in the order Rodentia and consists of the chinchillas, the viscachas, and their fossil relatives.
• The plains viscacha (Lagostomus maximus), a resident of the Pampas of Argentina, is easily differentiated from other viscachas by black and gray mustache-like facial markings.
• Caviomorphs include the extinct Heptaxodontidae (giant hutias), the extinct Josephoartigasia monesi (the largest rodent ever known) and extant families of chinchilla rats, hutias, guinea pigs and the capybara, chinchillas and viscachas, tuco-tucos, agoutis, pacas, pacaranas, spiny rats, New World porcupines, coypu and octodonts (Vassallo and Antenucci, 2015).
• Some molecular work suggests that, despite their appearance, they may be more closely related to octodontoids such as degus, nutria, and tuco-tucos than they are to chinchillas and viscachas.
• Fauna encountered in the region includes birds, flamingos, guanacos, huemuls, rheas, vicuñas and viscachas, along with pumas and rodents, which are fairly common.
• Points of interest include native peumo tree forests, views of the waterfall and the 3,253 meter Cerro de Ramón mountain, and the opportunity to view condors, eagles, chimango caracaras and occasionally foxes and viscachas.
• Animals include Altiplano chinchilla mice, ashy chinchilla rats, birds, cougars, culpeos, Jelski's altiplano mice, lesser grisons, Lima leaf-eared mice, lizards, master leaf-eared mice, Molina's hog-nosed skunks, Northern viscachas, Pampas cats, Peruvian slender snake, Puno grass mice, small big-eared brown bats, tarucas, white-bellied fat-tailed mouse opossums and yellow-rumped leaf-eared mice.
• In Argentina, Phyla canescens has been found to be dominant in areas around plains viscacha (Lagostomus maximus) colonies; this seems to be because the plant's low growth habit and its lack of palatability to the viscachas, which selectively feed on grasses, allows the Phyla canescens to proliferate uncontrolled.
