The Guinea Pig Don Juan

Hatton Adventure World, a zoo located in Warwickshire, England, was once the home to a male guinea pig named Randy. Back around June of 2014, Randy managed to gain entrance to the enclosure for the female guinea pigs and turned it into his harem of dreams – he managed to impregnate all 100 of them. He either escaped and made his way there on his own or was misplaced there during an animal handling session by perhaps a child visitor.

Right side – Randy. Left side – Guinea pigs at the facility.

Either way, Randy made his mark in the female enclosure. The staff only managed to notice what was wrong when they discovered a single individual among the females who looked unusually skinny and exhausted, and decided to investigate. Guinea pigs can have an average of 4 babies per litter, and by August of 2014, the facility already had 100 newly born babies, with plenty more on the way. Over ten years down the road, many of Randy’s descendants are still happily living at Hatton Adventure world.
