Best Answer

Guinea pigs are rodents, very popular domesticated pets, and not found naturally in the wild. Pigs are bred on farms for their meat and are ungulates like horses and cows.

While I think I can safely say there has never been a guinea pig weighing as much as 10 pounds, pigs can weigh over a ton.
