Small rodent noted for its fur native to the Andes in South America (10)

I believe the answer is:

chinchilla

(Other definitions for chinchilla that I've seen before include "furry creature" , "Rabbit" , "Soft grey fur" , "little furry animal" , "(Fur of) a small South American rodent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
