Guinea pigs (also called cavies) are rodents belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia, originally idigenous to the Andes.
Despite their common name, the animals are not pigs, nor do they come from Guinea.

Guinea pig breeders will provide a photo if requested. Guinea pigs are not pigs at all. It is a kind of rodent like a mouse, rat, beaver, porcupine or hamster. Many years ago, traders visiting South America returned with these animals. Since that time, they have spread all over the world as pets. Guinea pig breeders will provide a photo if requested.
