Description

The guinea pig or domestic guinea pig, also known as the cavy or domestic cavy, is a species of rodent belonging to the genus Cavia in the family Caviidae. Breeders tend to use the name "cavy" for the animal, but "guinea pig" is more commonly used in scientific and laboratory contexts. Despite their name, guinea pigs are not native to Guinea, nor are they closely related to pigs. They originated in the Andes region of South America. Studies based on biochemistry and hybridization suggest they are domesticated animals that do not exist naturally in the wild, descendants of a closely related cavy species such as C. tschudii. They were originally domesticated as livestock for a source of meat, and are still consumed in some parts of the world.

গিনিপিগ বৈজ্ঞানিক নাম: ইঁদুরজাতীয় ছোট্ট স্তন্যপায়ী প্রাণী। ল্যাটিন ভাষায় ক্যাভিয়া পোর্সেলাস শব্দের অর্থ হচ্ছে ছোট্ট শূকরশাবক। কিন্তু গিনিপিগের সাথে শূকরছানার কোনও সম্পর্ক নেই। এমনকি এটি গিনি থেকেও উদ্ভূত নয়। জৈবরসায়নবিদগণ গবেষণা করে দেখিয়েছেন যে, গিনিপিগের আদি বাসস্থান হচ্ছে আন্দেস পর্বতমালা। ক্যাভি প্রজাতির সাথে এদের নিবিড় সম্পর্ক রয়েছে। গৃহপালিত প্রাণী হিসেবে এদের পরিচিতি রয়েছে। মূলতঃ এ জন্যই এদের সচরাচর বন্য পরিবেশে দেখা যায় না।
