Do guinea pigs have long whiskers?

Yes, guinea pigs have long whiskers. Whiskers, also called vibrissae, are specialized hairs found on the face and body of guinea pigs. They are longer, thicker, and have more nerve connections than regular hair. Guinea pigs have multiple rows of whiskers above their eyes, on their cheeks, chin, and on their limbs. These whiskers help guinea pigs navigate their environment, detect movement, and sense objects in their surroundings. The whiskers are very sensitive to touch, and they allow guinea pigs to sense obstacles, identify food, and interact with their environment without the need for good vision.
