The correct answer is Guinea pigs
So why is this answer correct? : Now one of the most popular pets for children, guinea pigs were once native to South America. They were first domesticated by the Incas 3,000 years ago as pets, a food source, and for making sacrifices to gods. By the 16th century, their popularity spread to Europe, where they became popular pets during the Elizabethan era. Today, guinea pigs are sadly extinct in the wild and only exist as domesticated pets.
