Is this a chinchilla?...roaming Universal theme park

[Kara315]

As I was on a Disney board, I was reading some completed trip reports when I came across one that had this picture. He said it was right in the open on a pathway, he moved it to the side afraid someone would step on him, also didn't know what kind of animal it was.
If it is a Chin, I can't imagine why one, especially so small is wondering around freely in Universal Studios, kind of worried, this was a year ago as it was a completed trip report, I can't help but worry about what happened or why it is there.

Not a chin (look at the tail and the size of the ears). I would guess it is from the vole family? Probably quite young in age as well.

Good to know. I haven't seen any baby chins, except maybe a picture or two on here a long time ago, wasn't sure how different they could be when young. Good to know there aren't any chins running around there. Thanks.

Universal CA or FL? The give away that it's not a chin, besides the size, is the ear placement and hairless tail. Could be a rat of some sort, or a mouse, and depending on size maybe a vole.
