    Which of these pets isn't a rodent?

    • Hamster

    • Guinea pig

    • Rat

    • Ferret

    Correct Answer
    A. Ferret
    Explanation
    A ferret is not a rodent because it belongs to the Mustelidae family, which includes animals such as weasels, otters, and badgers. Rodents, on the other hand, belong to the Rodentia order, which includes animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and rats. Therefore, a ferret does not fit into the category of rodents.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hamster
    Explanation
    Hamsters have cheek pouches, which are expandable pockets in their cheeks used for storing and carrying food. This unique adaptation allows them to gather and transport large amounts of food back to their burrows or nests. Guinea pigs, gerbils, and rats do not have cheek pouches.

    Explanation
    Guinea pigs originate from South America. This is because they were first domesticated by the indigenous people of the Andes region, which is located in South America. Guinea pigs were an important source of food for these people and were also used in religious ceremonies. They were later brought to Europe by Spanish explorers and eventually spread to other parts of the world. Therefore, South America is the correct answer for the question.
