In the wild a guinea pig will run and hide from predators. They will go underground to hide from them. They stay low to the ground to keep Birds of Prey from getting them.

A farm pig doesn't have very good eyesight, so therefore it uses hearing as a defense mechanism. If one pig hears something or detects danger, it runs in the direction of the danger and this alerts the other pigs.

"Guinea pigs will NOT bite unless they think you are food. They will claw and scratch you if they are scared."

Answers like the above could be found on numerous internet sources, but it is simply not correct. Some guinea pigs can, and will, defend their territory if they feel threatened. Of course, each guinea pig is different, but those who will defend themselves usually produce a specific sound just before reaching out with the head from the hiding place in a short burst, trying to hit "the enemy" with its teeth.

Guinea Pigs are flight animals; their first line of defense is to escape and hide.

When physically attacked, Guinea Pigs tend to wiggle in order to break free (so that it can run away, escape and hide). It will use its claws, kick and might bite in the effort of breaking free.
They hide. They will make high pitched sqeaks to alert other guinea pigs.

Rabbits are amazing runners and cowards so rather than staying around to fight they will run back home into the (hopeful) safety of their borrows.

Answer:

People attacked by aggressive (maybe insane) rabbits find that those big strong teeth are capable of delivering very nasty bites. They sometimes don't let go after locking on. That combined with their speed can make rabbits very unpleasant when on the offensive. Watership Down and its warrior rabbits is an interesting story featuring this aspect of rabbits.

Answer:

Rabbits can defend themselves by kicking with their back feet/legs.

No organism in the world must protect itself from its prey. However, guinea pigs will usually stiffen up, get small, or sprint away from their predators.
