Cute little critters, though the adults aren't so very little either. Largest rodent in the world, adults weigh in between 30-66 kg. I have heard they are friendly enough that some people have successfully made them into outside pets. Others just eat them. But then in Peru a lot of people eat guinea pig, not that I ever would.
Google tells me this creature lives in most of South America and is a very social animal. It seems they are loved by all other creatures and are generally found with many types of animals "socializing" with them. They are friendly and have a calm temprament, making good outside pets. What fun!
May God bless you all with a peaceful, healthy 2019.
