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.

കാവിഡേ കുടുംബത്തിലെ കാവിയ എന്ന ജനുസ്സിൽ പെട്ട ഒരു കരണ്ടുതീനിയാണ് ഗിനിപ്പന്നി(ഇംഗ്ലീഷ്: Guinea pig).. എലിപ്പന്നി എന്നും കാവി (cavy) എന്നും വിളിക്കാറുണ്ട്. ഗിനിപ്പന്നി എന്ന പേരിൽ വ്യംഗ്യമായതുപോലെ ഒരു പന്നിയല്ല ഇത്. ഇവയുടെ സ്വദേശം ഗിനിയയും അല്ല. തെക്കേ അമേരിക്കയിലെ ആന്തിസ് ആണ് ഇവയുടെ സ്വദേശം. ഇന്ന് പൂർണ്ണമായി ഇണക്കി വളർത്തുന്ന ഇവയെ വന്യമായി കാണുവാൻ സാധ്യമല്ല.
