A Guinea Pig..
A team of scientists traveled the 49 Continental United States only to find that the most common Guinea Pig name was Mrs. Pig.
The common name "guinea pig" is misleading because they are not from Guinea and they are not related to pigs. They are small rodents originating from the Andes mountains in South America. The name likely comes from when they were sold for a guinea, a British gold coin, in the 16th century.
The most common one is Cavy. There might be others but it is mostly Guinea Pig and Cavy, but they DO NOT come from New Guinea nor are they part pig. Take Care and god Bless! :)
The most common breed of guinea pig is American short haired. They are easy to groom and handle.
The scientific name for guinea pig is Cavia porcellus.
Yes, the guinea pig can catch the common cold.
