Cavies, also known as Patagonian Hares or Maras, are fascinating creatures found in the vast and diverse landscapes of Argentina. From the Northwestern provinces all the way down to Patagonia's Valdes Peninsula in Chubut Province, these adorable animals have made their homes. One particular species is Cavia porcellus, characterized by its black and white fur. With a side view that showcases their unique markings, these domestic Guinea Pigs are a sight to behold. Another variation of this species is the Non-self Peruvian Guinea Pig with its distinct features. Cross-breeding can lead to interesting combinations like the Peruvian and Non-self Sheltie guinea pig. These hybrid cavies exhibit traits from both parent breeds, creating an intriguing mix. In French zoos, you may come across Spotted Cavies adding a touch of elegance with their spotted coats. Meanwhile, Patagonian Cavies roam freely in zoo enclosures, showcasing their natural habitat for visitors to admire. Looking back at history through vintage illustrations published around 1885 in Spain's "La Vida De Los Animales, " we see a family of Patagonian Maras or Cavies captured beautifully on paper. The mother caring for her young babies portrays the nurturing nature of these creatures. Adult Maras display grace and agility as they navigate through Argentina's stunning landscapes. Their presence adds charm to Northwestern provinces all the way down into picturesque Patagonia at Valdes Peninsula in Chubut Province. Cavia aperea is another cavy species often seen munching on red fruits while offering us a delightful side view of their feeding habits. Additionally, two Non-self Peruvian guinea pigs captivate our attention with their distinctive appearances. Whether it be observing them in zoos or appreciating historical depictions from centuries ago (like Picture No. 11676148), cavies continue to enchant us with their beauty and uniqueness.
