Well, what do chinchillas look like when they have their backs to you? Little round rocks! I believe that this is a behavior engrained in the gene pool that in the wild enables them to avoid being seen by eagles, wolves, foxes, coyotes, or any other predator. Survival!
 
Could it also be a sign of increased alertness?
