5 species
Cliff Chipmunk
Species principle: Cliffside Cache
Cache on stone.
Preparedness matters most where footing and food are both uncertain.
Cliff Chipmunks live among rocky slopes, forage actively, and cache seeds or other foods while using crevices for cover.
Long-tailed Chinchilla
Species principle: Soft Toughness
Stay soft on stone.
Softness survives when it knows how to move over hard stone.
Long-tailed Chinchillas have extremely dense soft fur and agile movement across rocky Andean slopes, where they shelter in crevices and avoid predators.
Mouflon
Species principle: Horn Boundary
Hold the horn line.
A strong boundary can prevent a contest from becoming chaos.
Mouflon males have large curved horns used in dominance contests, while sure-footed bodies help them move through rocky hills and slopes.
Rock Cavy
Species principle: Rock-Shelter Alarm
Warn from stone.
Safety improves when many eyes use the same cover.
Rock Cavies live among rocky outcrops in groups, using crevices, alertness, and quick movement to avoid predators.
