Meet the new baby chinchillas, Plusle, and Minun, the newest addition to the animal science class. These names come from the game Pokemon. Elohin, a student who took care of the babies and who named them, said that he was the one who spotted them first.

How do we know which baby is Plusle or Minun? Well, Plusle has dark fur like his father Frankie. Minun has light grey fur like her mother Annie. Annie had her babies about a month and a half ago, and you can find all four in the back section of the animal lab, but make sure to get permission before doing so, and make sure to bring a little bit of patience.

Plusle and Minun love to cuddle with their mother, and love to eat raisins. Elohin says that he has noticed some patterns in both the parents and their babies. He explains that Minun is so much like her mother because she is a very nervous baby chinchilla and a very quiet one, so don’t feel upset if she freaks out when you approach her. The same thing applies to Plusle, but instead because he’s very energetic and loves to run around just like his father.
