Lovely Planet Abyssinian Guinea Pig Postcard

#Abyssinian Appearance: Short, stout, and rounded body with symmetrical whorls of fur. Personality: Full of energy, highly curious, and relatively easy to train. Also known as the "whorled guinea pig" in Taiwan, the Abyssinian is one of the oldest guinea pig breeds, originating from South America. They feature eight to ten symmetrical "whorls" (the more symmetrical, the cuter they look), with fur that is rather coarse and generally no longer than 4 cm. Their coat colors come in a wide variety. Because the breeding of Abyssinian coat colors is challenging to control, they often come as delightful surprises with mixed patterns. The whorls of their fur bloom like fireworks, but they also require frequent grooming to prevent matting! - Collaborating Illustrator: PiPi, the Little Animal Observer For more cute pet information, follow: Lovely Planet
