The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy or domestic guinea pig, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Despite their common name, these animals are not in the pig family, nor are they from Guinea. They originated in the Andes, and earlier studies based on biochemistry and hybridization suggested they are domesticated descendants of a closely related species of cavy such as Cavia aperea, C. fulgida, or C. tschudii and, therefore, do not exist naturally in the wild. Recent studies applying molecular markers, in addition to studying the skull and skeletal morphology of current and mummified animals, revealed that the ancestor is most likely Cavia tschudii.

Photo showing a tame tortoiseshell (ginger, white and black) Peruvian guinea pig. The type of cavy has long hair, which needs to be regularly cut and brushed, to prevent tangling / tangles. This guinea pig seems to enjoy having his hair brushed, particularly as it gets treats, such as some tasty, freshly cut grass as pictured on the towel.
