I had a pet chinchilla once. I got him after he finished what amounts to chinchilla school. The breeder explained to me that she can’t immediately separate a chinchilla after it starts eating normal food as it needs to be taught to bathe, chew, and other chinchilla things by the older chinchillas. There can definitely be animal culture, and from what I have observed most animals have some level it. I find that humans give ourselves way too much credit. We may be smarter, but I don’t think it’s by all that much really… just that the last bit of smarts makes a rather large impact.
