      Right?! They're pretty common across the Peruvian altiplano, but I don't think I'd ever seen them as common and as confiding as there, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Posted 11 months ago

The Montane guinea pig

The montane guinea pig is a species of caviid rodent found in the Andes in South America. The montane guinea pig is the likely main ancestor of "Cavia porcellus", the domestic guinea pig or domestic cavy, which appears to be a hybrid that includes lesser genetic contributions from other "Cavia" species.
