About the Guinea Pig

The Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus) is a mammal found in many parts of the world. It lives in grasslands and mountains.

It weighs around 1 kg and has a lifespan of about 6 years. At full speed it can reach 10 km/h. Estimates put its population at about 50 million individuals.

It has not been evaluated (NE) by the IUCN, so there is no official assessment of its risk of extinction. In Animal Gacha, its card has Common rarity. Rarity is a game value informed by conservation status, not an IUCN category. Common cards are the ones you find most often in packs.
