We were trying to understand a guinnea pig’s place in the food chain and more specifically how they might defend themselves from predators.  They have some distinct disadvantages:

• They’re slow
• They’re fat
• They’re harmless
• They don’t even have any sharp quills or anything

The only thing I could come up with was that they’re naturally very high in cholesterol.  They tend to cause heart disease and cardiovascular problems in their predators.
