guinea pigs are extinct in the wild from when the europeans went to south America and killed them off. guinea pigs Only live with humans now:-(

Answer 2: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.

They are small but seem to camouflage well, which helps to protect them. They hide in the undergrowth.
