[Art] Guinea Pig as Totem

Guinea Pig as Totem

The guinea pig, or cavy, is a small rodent that is neither a pig or from Guinea! Heh. Guinea pigs in Western culture are most commonly known for being wonderful animal companions. However in the rest of the world they are also a cheap, viable food source, and are associated with Indigenous folklore and mythologies. Guinea pigs are intelligent, vocal creatures; and kinda pathologically adorable!
