    I was always amazed by how utterly stupid an organism can be. And that thing survives somehow in nature.

        No way!

        Wikipedia suggests montane guinea pig as a wild ancestor.

          There is some, as @[email protected] pointed out, but they are very different to the domesticated guinea pig.

            Makes sense, you’re right.

            Isn’t that kind of like saying “poodles are extinct in the wild”, when there were never wild poodles in the first place?
