Studie siamských dvojčat morčete domácího
NAVRÁTIL, Vojtěch
This diploma thesis deals with a unique case of a newborn Siamese guinea pig. Conjoined twins are always very rare, and concerning guinea pigs only a few previous cases have been described. The main subject of this study are the Siamese twins of the domestic guinea pig (Cavia aperea f. Porcellus), born in hobby breeding in the Czech Republic in 2019. The publication examines the external and internal structure of the body and the type of connection of both bodies in detail. Then it compares with other cases of born Siamese twin guinea pigs in the past. In general, it addresses the issue of domestic guinea pig reproduction and anatomy. It compares the weights of selected internal organs of the Siamese twin with normally developed youngs. From the results, conclusions are then drawn indicating the possible causes and consequences of the unusual case of Siamese twins.
