Patagonian cavies like this one at the @houstonzoo are native to Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. These adorable rodents form monogamous pairs, but the male holds the responsibility of maintaining the relationship by constantly following the female around. These pairs often mate within systems of underground burrows shared by two dozen other pairs or more. When their young are born, one pair will visit the den at a time in order to nurse their baby while the others circle around the den, patrolling for predators. This kind of communal living greatly increases the survival rate for young cavies.
Patagonian cavies are listed as Near Threatened on the #IUCN Red List, mainly due to habitat destruction for agriculture, as well as hunting for their skins.
