Guinea pigs, also called cavies, make squeaking and whistling sounds, and many owners say they wheek when they hear the fridge open. They come from South America and are not pigs at all. Real guinea pigs can be white, black, brown, orange, cream or patchy mixes, and some have long hair or swirly rosettes.
Swirly rosette fur is fun to draw. Kids can add small spirals in a darker shade over the base color, then outline a patch or two in a different color for a patchy coat.
