The Real Guinea Pig

Home Documentary The Real Guinea Pig

The guinea pig has conquered children's playrooms like no other pet. They are regarded as sociable, robust, cute and a little simple-minded. But German researchers are beginning to uncover more and more character traits that have - until now - only ever been attributed to human beings. The extraordinary trail of the guinea pig leads from its wild ancestors in the South American Andes right into the laboratories of cutting-edge behavioural biologists.
