It's crazy because wild cavis look just like small capybaras

[@weebatrocityreal]

Technically the only difference is that Guinea pigs are smaller, so they are tiny capybaras

[@comprehensive6952]

They're just tiny fast capybaras.

[@hurpaderpp]

@@weebatrocityreal not true at all. capybaras are water dwelling and guinea pigs are not. completely different fur too

[@randomshit5115]

@@hurpaderpp actually it is said that a least the related Cavia magna is a swamp-dwelling species.

[@a.pereyra3875]

In Uruguay we call it "apareá". This animal its like a mini capybara (Carpincho)

My Guinea pig would be terrified of them I think.

@Las Vegas Free Press I wonder if you could bond them.

Kyoya Hibari bro how is that racist

[@user-jl7cz2pe6d]

@@tactical_ghost199 My guess is that they said that because OP said that their guinea pigs would be afraid.

[@powerONdelta]

Now I can see where they got the pig in their name. They look like mini wild boars.

[@rosacano624]

Son preciosas

[@daffers2345]

I can see where our modern domesticated guinea piggies get theur mannerisms. These ones are very similar.

[@Zauharant]

Daar ben ik geweest en heb ik ze gezien. Vlak daarnaast kon je ook normale cavia's zien om ze te vergelijken :)

THAT''S HOW GUINEA PIGS LOOKED LIKE before they were captured as livestock 5.000 years ago.

you knew how they looked like 5000 years ago?

[@strongindependentblackwoma1887]

@@ThePotskur there is a big ammount of animals that ONCE CAPTURED AND BREED....they start to having diverse colors and funny shapes of them, let's look at cows for example.

[@debracrew3261]

they are lovely abit different from my piggies, but i think they could do with there claws cutting they are rather long.

[@connorvaughn6460]

They're wild. Their claws are supposed to be long. It helps them defend themselves and make shallow burrows to sleep in. Also, Cavy's claws grow in a natural fashion, where as guinea pigs claws gurl and get gnarled. The'se little guys are doing just fine. :)

[@gorgeousfreeman4836]

@@connorvaughn6460 they also will keep them filed down when digging or foraging so they dont get gnarled and bad as domestics who usually dont get to do that

[@f1rebreather123]

@Cullen Freeman their nails are used for survival though. They still have to dig

[@TheArtenez3]

WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THESE AS A PET VS THE DOMESTIC AT THE PET SHOPS
