There are still wild guinea pigs living in South America, in the mountains of Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Wild guinea pigs have different predators to modern guinea-pigs because of where they live. Predators of wild guinea pigs are wild cats, coyotes, wolves, snakes, hawks, and owls. Humans probably hunt them for easy food, also.
