There are several species of wild cavy, most of which are not endangered in any way (they're all rated by IUCN as "Least Concern").

There is one species, Cavia intermedia, which is found only on a single small island and lives only in an area the size of about 8 (US) football fields. That one is rated "Critically Endangered", but it was only discovered recently and very little is known about it. There are probably less than 50 adults of the species.
