Do you have a Guinea? If yes, have you wondered why a cute fuzzball named the pig? And what is the reference to Guinea? One of the most frequently asked questions for those who want information about guinea pigs in pet stores is like the guinea pigs get their name? These creatures are lovable rodents that are originally from the Andes mountains in South America. And even if their names, otherwise these small animals are not pigs, and they come from Guinea. Guinea is considered by biologists as hysterical rodents, a group that includes chinchillas, porcupines and mole rats. Belong to the family and the genus Caria Caviler, and thus are often called guinea pigs.
When you collect the guinea pigs will soon learn that the Cay is a social animal. Although in the wild, they live in small groups consisting of a man, or a boar, a number of females, called sows and their cubs. Unlike many other rodents, wild caves usually mate for life. However, they are monogamous is generally associated with a wild boar sows 50-10. The term is not precise, because pigs are completely different species. On top of that Cay should not be in Guinea, West Africa in March. Its origin is South America.
One of the most likely explanations for the use of pork is that Cree term is characteristic of caves reminded people of pigs. Or maybe it was their big, stocky and time spent eating, which was comparable to the hog. The name Guinea is not easily explained either. It can be caused by a mistake in French Guiana, a region in South America. Others have speculated that the term refers to a trade route through Guinea can be used to import the caves of Europe. It is unlikely that some people think that the name came from the British currency. Why? Because the term actually predates the British monetary expression.
