Real Guinea Pig Skull

The guinea pig, also known as the "cavy," is a small rodent species native to South America. They are known for their social nature, often forming groups for safety and companionship. Guinea pigs are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and other plant materials. In some regions, they are considered pests due to their habit of feeding on crops. However, these animals remain important components of their ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling and providing sustenance for various predators.
