No more than they are related to humans. We kept guinea pigs for many years, and I'm fairly familiar with the basics of them.
Quoting Wikipedia (article "Guinea pig") (emphasis added):
The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Despite theircommon name, these animals are not in the pig family, nor are they from Guinea. They originated in the Andes...
Only in that they are both mammals...guinea pigs are not pigs at all...they are rodents...like mice, rats, etc...
No. Mice can actually kill guinea pigs.
no, guinea pigs cannot live with these animals, and yes, guinea pigs will be hurt by wild mice. guinea pigs should live with other guinea pigs, and wild mice should stay wild.
Hamsters are rodents. That means they're related to mice, rats, guinea pigs, etc.
maybe the MAYBE answer is wrong the one on the bottom is right Guinea pigs are not related to pigs because the guinea pig is already related to rodents so if their related to rodents they can't be related to pigs.
No. Gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, mice, rats are faster than guinea pigs.
No guinea pigs are not reptilian. Guinea pigs are mammals.
no. guinea pigs are not related to pigs at all. it is just a name. they are actually rodents.
pigs, mice, squirrels, rats, and all the other rodents
Guinea pigs belong to the superorder Euarchontoglires, which includes rodents and primates. Sloths belong to the superorder Xenarthra. So guinea pigs and sloths are not closely related.
No Only insofar as they are mammals.
The guinea pig is a member of the rodent family. It's closest relative is the capybara, the largest of all rodents. Guinea pigs are also related to porcupines and chinchillas as well as hamsters, mice, gerbils ect
