The guinea pig or domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also known as the cavy or domestic cavy (/ˈkeɪvi/), is a species of rodent belonging to the genus Cavia in the family Caviidae.
Physical Description

They have small, compact, cylindrically shaped bodies, ranging from 20.3 cm to 25.4 cm in length. They have small petal-shaped ears that are laterally positioned at the apex of the head. Their eyes are laterally positioned mid-way down the snout, between the ears and nose.

Guinea pigs can live up to 14 years in captivity but have an average lifespan of 8 years. Reproductively active guinea pigs generally have shorter lifespans of about 3.5 years.[1]
