Guinea Pig Babies

The 5th graders in Ms. Weaver's class got a F.U.N. surprise on Valentine's Day. Their class guinea pig had babies!!! Here they are a week after birth, posing for their first family photo.

What a great way for our students to study mammals, learned behaviors, adaptations, and inherited traits. Speaking of inherited traits, here's a picture of Oreo (the proud dad). It's interesting to see which traits the guinea pigs received from each parent.
