(Pearson 1952 Cavia (Salsa) April 7-9 Pichipichuni, 12800ft, 8km NW. Huacullani, Dept of Puno, Peru I have seen attempted, if not successful captures of guinea pigs here. Also saw one fight, although I was unable to collect the participants. Nose to nose, they franced around like a pair of sparring boxers, once in a while one or the other would make a lunge for the hindquarters of his opponent, and both would go tumbling around with squeaks and grunts. Watched for about 5 minutes, then my date with ZZ drew them down holes.
