The Abyssinian is a breed of guinea pig that is relatively common as both a pet and show animal. The Abyssinian is set apart from other breeds of guinea pig by its coat, which is marked with radially growing swirls or cowlicks of hair referred to as rosettes.
The Abyssinian is one of the oldest guinea pig breeds. Despite its name, it did not originate in Abyssinia, which is now Ethiopia. The actual origins of its name are not known, although it is known to have originated in South America. The Abyssinian drew much attention as an exhibition cavy in Victorian England due to its unique coat
